Abstract:
A Detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd in September 2014 on land south of Dame Mary Archer Way, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. It was successful in identifying a range of anomalies that are of potential archaeological origin. Iron spike anomalies were the most numerous with a potential cluster located within parallel and perpendicular positive linear anomalies that form a potential Roman enclosure. Seven positive linear trends, that are interpreted as agricultural land drains were further recorded on a north to south alignment. Two positive discrete anomalies indicative of archaeological rubbish pits were recorded to the west and east of the dataset, a geological derivation however cannot be ruled out. Five thermo-remnant responses were recorded in the central northern section of the dataset that are indicative of areas of burning, burnt pits, fires, hearths or potentially even kilns aligned south-west to north-east. Located within perpendicular and parallel positive linear anomalies that form the enclosure. A more modern derivation cannot be ruled out. Four weak positive linear anomalies orientated north-east to south-west and perpendicular form potential enclosure type ditch boundaries that correlate well with the cropmark survey.
