Abstract: |
In June 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of 12 - 18 The Lanes, Great Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire (NGR: TL 5492 5787). The evaluation was commissioned by Logan Homes Ltd and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of six dwellings with garages, cycle stores and bins. It was required to provide for a planning condition attached to the planning permission (South Cambs Council Ref. S/3035/14/FL), and based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team requiring a programme of archaeological work. The site lies within an area of archaeological potential recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER), within the historic medieval core of Great Wilbraham. The medieval church of St Nicholas lies some 100m to the south, dating from the 12th century (CHER MCB7691). Saxon loomweights have been found adjacent to the site suggesting that further early medieval settlement remains may be present (CHER MCB7618). Earlier activity is also recorded in the vicinity of the site, including a large Neolithic causewayed enclosure to the west of the village, Scheduled as an Ancient Monument (DCB153). The evaluation recorded features, principally pits and post holes, in each trench, with the larger number present in the eastern sector of the site (Trench 3). A cluster of post holes was recorded in Trench 3 but no discernible structural plan was evident. Though numerous none of the features contained finds and therefore they are un-attributable to an archaeological period. |
