Abstract: |
In May 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at 22 Church Street, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a dwelling (Fenland Ref. F/YR15/1063/F), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The site had potential for medieval and post-medieval remains associated with the settlement of Whittlesey. In the event the evaluation revealed two pits (F1007 and F1009) of 18th century or later date. A third pit (F1005) contained finds including small fragments of post-medieval peg tile, while a stratigraphically later gully (F1013) yielded a single sherd of residual medieval pottery (medieval quartz and limestone ware of probable 12th to 13th century date). Subsoil L1001 yielded one sherd of residual 14th to 15th century Lyveden type ware. Of particular interest is a fragment of probable bone ice skate form Pit F1009. |
