Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted an intrusive (trial-trench) evaluation on land at Vine Farm, Cambridgeshire. This was part of a programme of evaluative works carried out in advace of development at the site. The trial trenching works followed un-intrusive geophysical survey, and cropmark analysis of the site. The combination of these exploratory techniques highlighted the presence of four foci of archaeological remains; one being likely medieval in date was excluded from the proposals during masterplanning while the other three were ringed on digtal plans and excluded from this intrusive survey. These three foci are thought to contain the remains of farming settlements dating to the late Iron Age/Romano-British periods. Trial trenching in the apparently 'blank' areas between the geophysical survey anomalies and cropmarks has revealed evidence for limited activity between these sites, and medieval ridge and furrow cultivation across the majority of the site. Where archaeological features were recorded on the periphery of the cropmark/geophysical survey. anomaly sites we have recorded the depth at which archaeologicalremains are currently sealed. This information is useful when assessing the potential impact of groundworks at development site. |
