Abstract: |
Hacker's Fruit Farm and Garden Centre together with National Centre for the Great War have applied for outline planning permission (S/2008/13/OL) for the erection of buildings to form a garden centre together with access and car parking and provision of a living museum to commemorate the First World War, on 14ha of land adjacent to the A14 Huntingdon Road planning conditions or obligations as appropriate. The evaluation consisted of a geophysical survey and intrusive trial trench evaluation. The geophysical survey, a detailed magnetometer survey of 14ha of arable land within the proposed development area, identified medieval furrows in the centre and eastern part of the site. Additionally the survey recorded a number of possible archaeological linear features. Trial trenching consisted of 21 trenches arrayed to give an even coverage of the area of development impact. Remains of medieval furrows were identified in two trenches, but the majority of trenches did not reveal any archaeological remains. The geophysical linear anomalies did not show up in the trenches. However, two were correlated with modern field boundaries based on cartographic evidence, while the other two might represent drainage features. |
