Abstract: |
A planning application for the erection of a detached residential dwelling together with access and car parking on land adjacent to 25 High Street, Tilbrook, Cambridgeshire has been approved by Huntingdon District Council. Due to the archaeological potential of the site a condition was placed on the planning consent, requiring a scheme of archaeological work to be undertaken. Cambridgeshire County Council's Historic Environment Team advised the Planning Authority that the first stage of work should be an archaeological evaluation of the site to determine the potential impact of the proposal on archaeological remains The results of the trial trenching will be used to characterise the archaeological potential of the site and determine whether further archaeological works are required. Archaeological deposits and features of interest are present at the site appearing at a depth of c. 0.30¬-0.40m. These comprise soil layers of early medieval date overlying archaeological features of late Saxon and early medieval date. Some of the features appear to represent structural remains, although their shallow nature suggests they may not be associated with a significant building such as a dwelling. However, it is possible that they have been truncated by later use of the site for food production during the early medieval period. This could have resulted in the development of the soil layers that overlie all of the earlier features. Overall, the assemblage of pottery from these deposits is highly fragmented - sherds have a mean weight of 6g - and survives in poor condition. |
