Abstract: |
In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological investigation at 51 Coates Road, Eastrea, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 29600 97350). The investigation was undertaken in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a detached dwelling (Plot 2) based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. An evaluation of the site and a wider area was undertaken in 2014 (CAU 2014) (CHER ECB 4175). Twelve trenches were excavated across the site, revealing some five dated features with material of late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date, believed to show continuation of a site to the south of Coates Road. The features included pits, a ditch and two ovens or kilns, and the possible base of an Sunken Featured Building. The trenches in the vicinity of proposed Plot 2 revealed four pits. The investigation revealed Post Holes F1003 and F1005, Pits F1007, F1009 and F1011, and Ditch F1018. Post Hole F1003 contained late Bronze Age / early Iron Age pottery. The other half of Pit 8 Trench 6 of the former evaluation (Timberlake 2014; CHER ECB 4175) was excavated, and additional late Bronze Age / early Iron Age pottery was recovered from Layers 21 and 24. Some modern intrusions were evident within the stripped area of excavation. |
