Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by Suffolk Archaeology behind No. 19 Toyse Lane, Burwell in Cambridgeshire. The evaluation assessed 5% of a small parcel of land covering 0.24ha for archaeological evidence. The works consisted of four trenches, three aligned north-east to south west (Trenches 1, 3 and 4), and one aligned north-west to south-east (Trench 2), measuring 70m in total length. The evaluation of the site has shown that a topsoil and post-medieval subsoil lie across the site, sealing the natural geology and two undated pits at a depth of c.0.5m. The subsoil seen in Trenches 1 and 2 produced the only dating evidence, a small quantity of medieval and post-medieval pottery and CBM, which is thought to have been deposited thought to be spread by agricultural processes such as manuring. The presence of the two pits demonstrates that archaeological evidence does survive in the development area but it is very sparse and the lack of dating evidence and low density of features does not indicate the presence of any sizable or significant phase of past activity. |
