Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted for Golder Associates (UK) Ltd on behalf of British Sugar ahead of development of part of the site as a Bio-energy plant. Little evidence of human activity was present at the site from periods prior to the post medieval at which point the cutting of dykes and drains allowed the fens to be drained and the land to be farmed. Even so, post-medieval features are few and far between and, where present, are likely to be associated with agricultural practice during this period. The site however does have potential to contribute to understanding the wider landscape and environment of this area of the fen edge during the early prehistoric period. |
