Abstract: |
In August 2015, Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out a geophysical survey of land at Needingworth Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3277 7204). The survey was undertaken in association with a planning application for construction of a new storage building and use of land for open storage with surfacing, drainage works and landscaping on land north of Needingworth Industrial Estate, Needingworth Road, Holywell-cum-Needingworth, Cambridgeshire. The geophysical survey identified an enclosure and possible associated linear anomalies, which may be of prehistoric date. The data also showed several regular linear magnetic anomalies, concentrated in the eastern portion of the study area. These are likely to represent eroded ridge and furrow. There is some correlation between the geophysical data and cropmarks identified from aerial photographs. Post-medieval/ modern activity was recorded in the form of a drainage pond identified from the 1888 Ordnance Survey map. Modern activity was identified as regular linear responses across the central portion of the site may represent land drains. |
