Abstract: |
Between the 31st March 2015 and the 7th April 2015, Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological evaluation consisting of four trial trenches on land to the rear of the Bricklayer's Arms Public House, 9 Station Road, Whittlesey (NGR: TL 27168 96841). The northern half of the site consisted of a series of hollows which were most likely of natural origin and a pit containing modern backfill. The southern half of the site was situated on an island of river terrace sand and gravels. Its eastern edge was bounded by one, possibly two ditches. Within the southern half of the site there was a series of intercutting pits all possessing a uniform depth, profile and width. The pits contained a small amount of medieval pottery but the majority of the finds were post-medieval in date. These were most likely quarry pits for the extraction of sand and gravel, possibly of a medieval date but this could not be proven. |
