Abstract: |
In December 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at The Croft, Walsingham Way, Eye, Peterborough (NGR TF 22304 02533). The evaluation was commissioned by Lodge Park Ltd. It was required in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of x14 dwellings (Planning Ref.13/01165/FUL), and based on the advice of Peterborough City Council Archaeological Service. No archaeological remains are known on the site, but evidence for prehistoric activity has been recorded in the general area, and the site is a large plot that has grassed areas that have likely been subject to little previous ground disturbance. In the event Roman (early - mid 2nd century) features were recorded in the southern and eastern sectors of the site. The features are principally linear ditches (six in number: F1007 (Tr.1), F1003 (Tr.2), F1011, F1013, F1015 and F1017 (Tr.3)). Two pits (F1005 (Tr.2) and F1020 (Tr.3)) and a gully (F1009 (Tr.2)) were also recorded. The features consistently contained Roman material, either early - mid 2nd century pottery or CBM. Ditch F1017 (Trench 3) contained an unusual handle. The latter may have formed part of a 'lamp chimney' or possibly a brasier or burner, while domestic functions such as oven or fire guard cannot be discounted. |
