| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 36b St John's Road, Ely, Cambridgeshire (TL 5337 8024) to inform the planning process in advance of the construction of nine dwellings and associated garages. The work was carried out by the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council between 27th and 29th November, 2000. A total of five trenches were excavated, four contained archaeological features. A series of ditches, pits and post holes and a possible roundhouse were observed, some of which produced artefacts dating from the Late Iron Age. An assemblage of Late Iron Age Plain Ware pottery was recovered, which is characteristic in sites of this period in the Southern Fens. In addition, well preserved plant remains including spelt, emmer wheat, six-row barley and various wild taxa were recovered from two pit contexts. A pit containing bricks from the Late Medieval/Post-Medieval period, adjacent to a Post-Medieval well, was also found. |
