Abstract: |
In March 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation on land to the side and rear of 'Windayle', 27 Hall Street, Soham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5917 7382). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the demolition of existing outbuildings and the construction of 12 residential buildings (Planning Ref: 09/00792 FUM and 09/00793 CAC). Roman pottery and human remains were found near Pratt Street, 200m to the east, and probably represent a burial ground (CHER 07100). Early Saxon burials are known in the area including the site of the current church (CHER 07123) where a Saxon monastery was founded in the 7th century (CHER MCB 8593). Late Saxon settlement has been identified some 300m to the south-east of the site where two Saxo-Norman enclosures and evidence of domestic occupation was found (CHER 07099). Settlement evidence commencing from the 12th century was identified at Cloverfield Drive 600m to the north-west (CHER MCB 16867), and a medieval pit and undated ditches at Ten Bells Lane 250m to the south-east may relate to burgage plots (CHER MCB 16279). Medieval ridge and furrow was identified 300m to the south-east (CHER MCB 16872). Despite the potential for archaeological remains modern postholes, three tree hollows (one containing a residual medieval (12th - 14th C) pottery sherd), and an undated gully were present. |
