Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at the Territorial Inn, 4 Cromwell Walk, Huntingdon (NGR TL 2362 7211) between the 14th and the 15th January 2015 and then subsequently on the 18th February and the 4th and 5th March 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd, on behalf of McCarthy and Stone in response to a brief written by Andy Thomas of Cambridge County Council Historic Environment Team (CCCHET). The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The earliest activity was evidenced by features of Late Saxon, Early Medieval, and Medieval date. This consisted of a number of pits located in Trenches 2 and 4, which are likely related to settlement activity fronting onto Ermine Street. The site is located inside the postulated location of the medieval town ditch, with the late Saxon/early medieval town expanding beyond this ditch. |
