Abstract: |
In March 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land at the Wheatsheaf Public House, 125 Great North Road, Eaton Socon, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 1692 5877). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising three houses, a bungalow, landscaping and ancillary works (Planning Ref No. 1101645FUL). It following an archaeological evaluation of the site carried out in February 2012 (Pozorski et al 2012). The results of the excavation are comparable to the results of the evaluation. Features were recorded in both areas (labelled A and B). The majority of features were post-medieval or modern and likely associated with the former public house. Three medieval features (Pit F1037 Tr.1, Pit F1015 Tr.2 and Pit F1010 Tr.3) and a residual medieval sherd (from Pit F1045 Tr.1) were recorded during the evaluation. The other half of F1010 (Tr. 3) was revealed during the excavation (F1025 Area B). And two medieval features (F2013 Area A and F2023 Area B) were recorded. The majority of the medieval features were pits. F1023 Area A was a gully. The number of pottery sherds found were small (1, 2 and 8 sherds) and associated finds comprise small quantities of CBM and sparse oyster shell. The density of post-medieval and modern features was not such (except within evaluation Trench 3) to have removed the medieval archaeology had it been present. |
