Abstract: |
In March 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 25 Church Street, Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4525 5161). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the proposed construction of two dwellings following the demolition of the existing house (Planning Ref. S/2003/15/FL). The evaluation was undertaken based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) requiring a programme of archaeological work. The site lies within the historic medieval and post-medieval village core. The medieval parish church of All Saints lies c.90m to the north east (HER 04732a). Extensive earlier activity is also known from the area of the later village, with numerous cropmarks of enclosures, linear and other features which point to occupation in the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods. An extensive multi-period complex lies to the north, partially Scheduled as an Ancient Monument (1006902; HER 04496). These landscape features extend into the fields to the north of the current site and to the west of the current site (HER 08346 and 09635-6). The site therefore had a potential for further remains of late prehistoric and Romano-British occupation, and for elements of the medieval and post-medieval settlement. In the event the evaluation revealed an undated ditch (F1004; Trench 1) and two modern pits (F1006 and F1016; both in Trench 2). Pit F1006 may represent a quarry pit with a sequence of tipped fills. |
