Abstract: |
In November 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench on land east of 12-14 Falcon Lane, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire PE7 1BJ (NGR TL 2687 9697). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 2No 2-storey 3-bedroom dwellings (Fenland Planning Ref. F/YR15/1073/F) based on the advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), advisors to Fenland District Council. The evaluation revealed predominantly evidence for post-medieval rear yard activity in the form of the remains of structures of 18th or 19th century date, some of which form continuations of walls expressed as scarring on the extant walls now enclosing the site. The eastern range is thought to have comprised the stables for the former vicarage (now Hermitage Rest Home) and the evidence is consistent with this though features suggest a multi-functional use or later alteration. Evidence for structures visible on the west and south was recorded. The presence of drainage is consistent with the needs of the surrounding fenland environment. A sparse number of pits were recorded. Two residual sherds of medieval (13th - 15th century) pottery were found but no medieval or earlier remains were revealed. |
