Abstract:
Between 26th October and 4th November 2015 Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological evaluation at land off Rampton Road, Cottenham (TL 4407 6729) on 14.16ha of land. This work was undertaken in advance of the determination of a planning application (S/1818/15/OL) and followed on from a desk-based assessment by CgMs (Gailey 2015) and a geophysical survey by GSB (Tanner 2015). Thirty-eight evaluation trenches were excavated across the site with seven targeted over possible anomalies located by the survey. Features dating to the Late Iron Age to Early/Middle Saxon were found in eight trenches, comprising enclosure ditches, pits, watering holes and gullies. Possible structural remains were also identified, including Late Iron Age ring gullies and Roman beamslots. Charred and waterlogged cereal and plant remains were recovered, along with Late Iron Age and Roman pottery that indicates long-lived settlement from the mid-1st century BC to the 4th century AD. Post-Roman occupation was represented by three Early/Middle Saxon features comprising a possible SFB, a ditch and a pit. Furrows were recorded over most of the evaluation area; those examined yielded finds dating from at least the 17th century.
