Abstract: |
In March 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Shelford Rugby Football Club, The Davey Field, Cambridge Road, Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4526 5319). The evaluation was required by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), as advisors to the Local Planning Authority, to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval (South Cambs. Planning Ref. S/1144/16/FL). It is proposed to erect a new external artificial sports pitch with artificial grass pitch, perimeter and gated entrances, hard standing areas for maintenance, pedestrian and emergency access, flood lighting and outdoor maintenance equipment store. The new pitch, hardstanding and maintenance store area extends to some 10180m2. The majority of trenches contained no archaeological features or finds. Trench 2 contained a tree hollow (F1017) and it contained no finds. Trench 6 revealed a post-medieval posthole (F1015). The principal features were located in Trench 1 in the western corner of the site. It contained Pits F1005, F1007, F1009 and F1011, and Stakehole F1013. The only dated feature was Pit F1009 which contained four sherds of early Iron Age pottery, and the sherds appeared to be derived from different vessels. Pits F1005 and F1009 contained small quantities of animal bone, and Pit F1009 contained a residual struck flint. |
