Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land north of 29 Maxey Road, Helpston, Peterborough, on the site of a proposed residential development. The site lies at the northern periphery of the historic core of the settlement in Helpston. Cropmarks visible on aerial photographs indicate that the area north of Helpston contains prehistoric remains associated with nationally significant ceremonial and funerary monuments recorded at Maxey Quarry. The project resulted in the discovery of Romano-British remains in the south-eastern part of the site, including a linear feature interpreted as a shallow ditch or possibly a track and a ditch and recut interpreted as a boundary or enclosure ditch. Small quantities of pottery, animal bone and ceramic building material were recovered from the area. Remains of ridge and furrow apparent in five of the six trenches indicated that during the medieval and post medieval periods the site lay within the open fields of the parish. |
