Abstract: |
On the 8th and 9th August 2012 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Rectory Farm, Great Gransden (NGR TL 27147 55584), in advance of the installation of ground source heating pumps. Trench 1 revealed evidence for the foundations of a wall which contained residual Roman pottery, along with a shallow pit tentatively interpreted as a sunken-featured building (SFB), possibly dating to the Anglo-Saxon period. Trench 2 contained two ditches on separate alignments, both of which contained early medieval pottery. The larger of the two ditches also contained animal bone and a large amount of daub. Environmental samples from both ditches produced high numbers of charred grains. The eastern end of the trench was taken over by a quarry pit which contained post-medieval tile and early medieval pottery, implying that it had truncated away further archaeological features. |
