Abstract: |
In June 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land adjacent to 2 Old Great North Road, Water Newton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 1092 9719). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the construction of a residential dwelling and garage (Hunts DC Ref. 0900813FUL). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential on the northern side of the Old North Road, now a minor road adjacent to the A1 Trunk Road to the south. The site lies on deposits of clays and gravels, at a height of c.14m AOD. The site was to be subject to an archaeological evaluation but groundworks associated with the development had commenced (site strip and ground reduction) and negated the value of an evaluation. The groundworks had revealed archaeological features and the brief required a programme of archaeological investigation comprising a full open area excavation. Modern disturbance was evident particularly on the western side of the site. The excavation revealed pits and ditches and the majority of features were medieval (10th - 13th century). |
