Abstract: |
In July 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Vawser Lodge, Thorpe Road, Peterborough (NGR TL 18045 98712). The evaluation was commissioned by Lodge Park Ltd. It was required in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 14 dwellings with associated external works and roads (Planning Ref. 13/00310/FUL), and based on the advice of Peterborough City Council Archaeological Service. The site is located in an area of known archaeological importance. Prehistoric archaeology has been found in the general area including human remains, and burials possibly dating to the Roman or medieval period are known. Cartographic sources record that the site lay to the immediate west of the workhouse from 1886 onwards and comprised possibly an orchard or parkland. In 1886 the site was associated with Westwood House, which stood to the north-west. By 1901 the site formed part of the grounds of a new residence, known as The Gables. The site remained associated with The Gables until the later 20th century. The Ordnance Survey map of 1977-85 depicts Vawser Lodge, a care home associated with the adjacent hospital. The evaluation revealed modern services and an undated ditch. Demolition layers, levelling layers and a tarmac surface were also recorded. The majority of the recorded features were associated with the 20th century building activity on the site. |
