Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on Land North of Bury Green Farm and South of New Fen Road Lane, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2670 8533) between the 6th and the 12th November 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Bury Green Farm Solar Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of a new solar farm with associated access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was the discovery of two small steep sided pits, which did not contain datable material. The site also contained two small, shallow ditches, which contained no finds and fills of a similar nature to the undated pits. Almost every trench also contained large numbers of rectangular clay marling pits arranged in linear patterns, which would have been created in the post-medieval to modern period in order to provide clay to consolidate the friable peat soil of the fenland. |
