Abstract: |
In February 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at 36A, Forehill, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5439 8020). The work was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for development including two shop units and three one bedroom flats (CCC CAPCA 08/01033/FUL). The assessment site lies within the medieval historic core of Ely within the boundary of the medieval Benedictine monastery and is 250m from the cathedral (CHER 07322). Excavations carried out along Forehill found remains of 13th century tenement buildings (Sutcliffe 2009, 20-1 and CHER MCB17330 and 11311). Late Saxon and medieval remains have been excavated at The Paddocks 80m to the south-west (CHER 10170). Medieval remains were also excavated 80m to the south at The Old Tesco site (CHER CB15424A), and 150m to the south in Ship Lane, to the rear of Broad Street (MCB 17660). Two distinct layers of garden soil were present within the trench that contained 17th to 18th century pottery; both represent former backyard surfaces of the property at Number 32 Forehill. Located below the subsoil and cut into the fen island was one undated gully. |
