Abstract: |
In June 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Whittlesey Baptist Church, 32 Gracious Street, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire PE7 1AR (NGR TL 2689 9736; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a single-storey side extension to the existing church hall, reconstruction and extension of the existing car park including modification to access and the erection of brick wall and gates (Fenland DC Ref. F/YR11/0451/F and F/YR11/0509/CA). Archaeological features were present in each of the evaluation trenches. In each trench the features inter cut and were quite dense. The majority of features were pits (F1030, F1034 and 1036 (Tr.1); F1005, F1007 and F1013 (Tr.2)). Linear features, a gully (F1009 Tr.2)) and a ditch (F1032 (Tr.2)), are also present. F1027 (Tr.1) may be a quarry pit. The majority of features were medieval (1032, 1005, 1007 and 1013) or were cut by medieval features (F1030 and F1036 (Tr.1), and F1009 (Tr.2)). One post-medieval feature (F1034 (Tr.1) was present. The archaeology was generally well preserved. Some modern disturbance was evident particularly the modern pits in Trench 1. The site had a potential for medieval remains and medieval features, predominantly pits, were preserved with little evidence of modern disturbance. |
