Abstract: |
In late July-August 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at 30 New Road, Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4085 5249). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed demolition of existing house and outbuildings and construction of 15 dwellings (Planning ref. S/1901/09/F) The Scheduled Monument of Haslingfield Hall is located c.450m to the south-west of the site (SM 27107 and CHER 1005A). Extensive medieval settlement is indicated further to the south (MCB 16656, CHER 03943A, 11242). A Mesolithic tranchet axe was found c.400m to the west (CHER 04351) and an evaluation at 65 New Road c.300m to the south found fragments of Roman and medieval pottery in the top soil (CHER CB 15627). The evaluation revealed a total of 27 archaeological features, and the range of features omprises seven ditches, ten gullies, seven pits and three quarry pits. The principal phase identified was Late Iron Age, and these features were predominantly recorded in Trenches 1 - 3. Medieval (10th - 12th century) features were recorded in Trench 2 (Ditches F1066 and F1083, and Gully F1038 contained intrusive 10th - 12th century pottery). Trench 4 contained two undated gullies (F1005 and F1007) and a 15th - 17th century pit (F1029). Trench 5 also contained two undated gullies (F1062 and F1070), and a Late Iron Age Ditch (F1056). Within Trench 6 a series of large post-medieval quarry pits (F1025, F1029 and F1032) will have destroyed any earlier features. Residual sparse struck flint was recorded n several features |
