Abstract:
Archaeological trial trench evaluation and subsequent open area excavation of land at the former Whitemoor Marshalling Yard in advance of the redevelopment of the site. A previous archaeological appraisal of the site demonstrated that the site had considerable archaeological potential due to its proximity to known Romano-British sites, whilst the 19th and 20th century railway yards themselves were considered to be of regional and national significance. A topographic survey of the site emphasised the survival at surface and sub surface level of many of the structures associated with the railway yards. The evaluation involved the excavation of 65 trenches totalling 6500 square metres of excavation. Significant archaeological remains were identified in several areas of the site. These consisted of concentrations of Romano-British features that survived later developments, together with the remains of parts of the railway yard infastructure that had escaped the post closure programme of demolition and salvage. Of particular interest were a series of Romano British features believed to be associated with the Fenland Causeway Roman Road and the remains of two 20th century railway turntables
