Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Witham Archaeology during groundworks relating to the construction of an extension comprising a new lobby area and WC at Emmanuel Church, Parson Drove, in the Fenland District of Cambridgeshire. Archaeological features recorded during the Watching Brief took the form of several undated pits. Numerous pottery sherds ranging in date between the 15th and 17th centuries were recovered from the subsoil deposits in the same areas along with an assemblage of animal bone. Taken together, the evidence suggests activity of a probable domestic nature in this location in the late medieval/early post- medieval period. Evidence for a paleochannel was recorded. The channel would have been associated with the wider dendritic system of Flandrian river and stream channels which characterised the fenland landscape at this time. No human remains were encountered during the watching brief. |
