Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land south of Church Lane, Papworth Everard Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 28525 62775) between the 30th of January and the 3rd of February 2017. As was anticipated prior to the commencement of the archaeological evaluation, large portions of the site had been heavily affected by terracing associated with the prior use of the site by the Robert Ellis House hostel, workshops and the Papworth Industries printworks. This terracing had impacted the archaeological horizon across a large part of the southern-most plot and the entirety of the northern plot of land. This left a belt of land located close to the south-western and southern site limits of the southern plot where the archaeological level and its overlying soil profiles survived. Within this belt, a high build-up of terracing deposits was observed to the north-east, downslope. Due to this, the trench in this location was unable to fully uncover the archaeological level, with only a small sondage being excavated down to the level of the natural to confirm the survival of the overlying subsoil, and hence the potential for the survival of archaeological remains. Upslope to the south-west where the ground was not built up or terraced away, a small concentration of boundary ditches were identified. These were mainly aligned roughly parallel to Church Lane, to the north and in some cases contained small assemblages of medieval XXXX pottery (c xxxxx-xxxxx). These are likely to relate to the subdivision of the land of this part of Papworth Everard into small plots XXXXx SOURCE MATERIAL XXXX USE DBA XXXX within the historic core of the village, close by to the church to the north in this period. |
