Abstract: |
In October 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land south west of 83 The Butts, Soham, Cambridgeshire CB7 5AW (NGR TL 5970 7218; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of an outline planning approval condition for proposed construction of two new semi-detached dwellings with garages, access, parking and associated works (East Cambs Council Ref. 16/01303/OUT), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The site is located within an area of archaeological potential with nearby archaeological remains recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER). An extensive Anglo-Saxon cemetery lies to the north east (CHER 07027) and its southern extent is unknown. Elsewhere along Fordham Road, investigations have revealed extensive evidence of prehistoric, Roman and medieval settlement/occupation and further significant Saxon inhumation burials (CHER ECB4586, ECB455, ECB3613 and ECB4556). Prehistoric occupation has also been recorded to the north of The Butts (CHER MCB17961). The evaluation revealed sparse prehistoric struck flint and medieval pottery within the topsoil, subsoil and a post-medieval hollow. The latter contained post-medieval (18th century) finds. |
