Abstract: |
This report describes the results of a watching brief carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Flag Fen STW BAFF plant, Third Drove, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (TL 2205 9824) between 24th February and 18th July 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned by Anglian Water Services and undertaken in accordance with a design brief issued by the Peterborough City Council Archaeology Service (PCCAS) and with advice from the Regional Assistant Inspector of the Ancient Monuments at English Heritage. The project involved the archaeological monitoring of the groundworks associated with the construction of a new deep bed sand filter plant and associated works. Two residual worked flints were recovered from the fen clays and a partial red deer skeleton was found at the base of the fen peat within the sand filter bed foundation pit. The red deer skeleton displayed no signs of butchery and the flints were likely re-deposited. No evidence for archaeological activity within the immediate area was found. |
