Abstract: |
In October 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a trial trench evaluation on 4.15 hectares of land between the railway line, St Neots Bypass and Potton Road, St Neots, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 1902 5837). The survey was commissioned to inform and support a planning application for a proposed residential development of 79 dwellings on the site. An undated ditch was revealed in Trenches 5 (F1016) and 10 (F1002), and an undated pit (F1024) was recorded in Trench 5. Early finds were sparse. A residual late medieval (14th - 16th century) sherd was found within Furrow F1054 (Trench 1) and within the topsoil. The evaluation revealed furrows associated with a ridge and furrow field system identified during the previous geophysical survey. Though the latter records the furrows extensively across the site they were only evident in Trenches 1, 3, 5 - 6 and 8 - 10. The furrows consistently contained post-medieval (17th - 18th century pottery) and modern (19th - 20th) century pottery. The features mapped during the aerial photographic survey (Fig.3b) and geophysical survey (Fig. 3a) were not readily evident in the trenches. Only F1004/F1002 (Trench 10) correlated with geophysical survey Anomaly No.1. |
