Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new residential development at Sheriffs Court, Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers to undertake an archaeological field evaluation. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Two trial trenches were excavated revealing natural sandy silt overlain by topsoil. A post-medieval linear feature, probably agricultural, was revealed in Trench 2, and a modern pipe trench traversed both trenches. No evidence was revealed of a hollow way, but observations made during the evaluation suggest that this feature is located to the north, and outside the limits of the present development site. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any significance may be considered to be Low for all periods, except the post-medieval where the risk is Moderate, but the significance is Low. |
