Abstract: |
In November 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land to the north of 120 Park Lane, Eastfield, Peterborough (NGR TL 2052 9985). The evaluation was commissioned by The Design Partnership on behalf of Cross Keys Homes Developments Ltd. It was required in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of x28 new dwellings (Planning Ref.13/01031/R4FUL), and based on the advice of Peterborough City Council Archaeological Service. The site encompasses an area of some 0.87ha and lies at c.10m AOD, on a geology of Kellaway deposits. The site was formerly a school, built in the 1960s and demolished in the 2000s. A high earth bund is present in the northern and western part of the site and adjacent. The school buildings formerly extended across a large part of the site, shown on 1960s and 1970s OS mapping. No archaeological remains are known on the site, but sparse evidence for early activity has been recorded nearby. Recent investigations at St John Fisher Catholic School revealed undated, possibly prehistoric features and residual prehistoric artefacts, and investigations at Hereward Community College revealed undated pits/post holes sealed by a buried soil below bank material potentially associated with the Roman Car Dyke running to the east of the proposed development site. In the event the evaluation found no archaeological features or finds. Significant modern ground disturbance was evident particularly in Trenches 1 - 3 and would have removed archaeological remains if present. No residual finds were found. |
