Abstract: |
During the summer of 2010, NAU Archaeology undertook an excavation adjacent to 33 High Street, Hauxton, Cambridgeshire which followed on from an evaluation in January of the same year. The development plot was situated on the north side of the High Street in an area surrounded by extensive crop-mark complexes thought to represent activity from the prehistoric through to the Roman period. Five trenches were excavated during the evaluation phase of works which revealed several irregular gullies and ditches and a collection of shallow pits. The excavation results consisted of additional linear features and shallow pits. The western half of the site contained two wide ditches of possible Iron Age and medieval date, which had been previously noted during the evaluation. A curving ditch at the north end of the site may also have been of Iron Age date There were a further two small gullies of unknown date in the centre of the site. To the east were a large number of probable quarry pits, which may have been of medieval or later date. (They had also been observed during the evaluation and medieval sandy ware was found within one of the fills during the evaluation.) One sherd of Iron Age pottery and seventeen sherds of Later Iron Age/Roman pottery were found during the excavation. This report presents the evidence recovered during the 2010 excavation, including data from the evaluation (where relevant) and provides an Assessment of that information. This is followed by an Updated Project Design which identifies further work considered appropriate to complete the Analysis stage of the project including how the project's results may be disseminated. |
