Abstract: |
In March 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land east of 22 Lower Road, Stuntney, Cambridgeshire CB7 5TN (NGR TL 5550 7806). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the proposed construction of six new dwellings with associated access and services (Planning Reference 15/01011/FUL). The evaluation was undertaken based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) requiring a programme of archaeological work. A former river course roddon lay adjacent to the site, which is on an area of raised ground. This water course was an active feature during the Roman period and a Roman settlement site, possibly a dock, is recorded to the west of it. Medieval settlement at Stuntney also lay to the north, and the site also had a potential for remains relating this historic settlement. The settlement grew up at the end of the Stuntney Causeway which crossed the lower-lying fenland across to the Isle of Ely. The site lies on an area of raised ground and had a potential for Roman and medieval remains. In the event plough furrows were recorded in all three trenches. Moderate - heavily abraded medieval (mid 12th - 14th century) pottery was found within a furrow and the subsoil. Most interesting was the medieval silver cross penny (1092 - 1095AD) found in Furrow F1003 (Trench 1). |
