Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Gills Hill Farm, Gills Hill, Bourn, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3270 5617) between the 15th and the 16th May 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of 16 residential dwellings with associated public open space, access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation identified a number of undated ditches and two undated pits thought to be associated with agricultural activity. There was no evidence of earlier occupation on the site, which is particularly evidenced by the sterile nature of the features recorded. |
