Abstract: |
In March 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Plot 3, 27 Sun Street, Isleham, Cambridgeshire CB7 5RU (NGR TL 6444 7455). The evaluation was to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a detached dwelling (East Cambs. Council Ref. 16/01471/FUL). The evaluation was required based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The evaluation was to represent the initial requirement but the groundworks for the development had commenced prior to the evaluation. The foundations for the new house had been constructed and consequently CCC HET advised that the trial trenching evaluation was the remedial work required as part of the breach of condition. The site is located within a landscape known for multi-period remains, including the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Isleham Priory. However, of particular significance to the archaeological potential of the site are remains including Roman ditches, Saxon features and evidence of later occupation recorded at nearby Church Lane and Ellwoods Close. The evaluation revealed two small, undated postholes and a large, post-medieval - early modern quarry pit (F1004). The latter contained post-medieval to modern (18th - 19th century) pottery. It appeared to have been deliberately backfilled with CBM and clunch and some of this material is of an early date: L1003 contained a late medieval (13th - 16th century) sherd; and late medieval and early post-medieval CBM including peg tile and brick of late 14th - 15th century date. It also contained a piece of tooled clunch stone and a glass bottle stamp. |
