Abstract: |
CAM ARC, (formally The Archaeological Field Unit (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council) conducted an archaeological excavation and trial trenching on land at Manor Drive to the south of the Car Dyke at Paston Parkway, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The investigations took place in October and November 2007 and consisted of an open area investigation, two trial trenches and a watching brief, all within the area of proposed development which includes the construction of houses, businesses, leisure and school sites across an area exceeding 48 hectares. The site has already been subjected to detailed archaeological investigations, which includes: - a desk-based study, aerial photographic appraisal, geophysical survey, evaluation and excavation. One of the key aims identified by the brief was to determine the extent of the continuation of the enclosure system identified by the 1997 BUFAU excavations to the west and CAM ARCs trial trenching which had confirmed that evidence of outlying field systems/related contemporary activity survives in this location. This investigation successfully identified the approximate location of the extent of the settlement and provided yet further evidence of building activity during the Roman period as well as evidence of an earlier Iron age enclosure and trackway. |
