Abstract: |
MOLA Headland Infrastructure (MHI) instructed the MOLA Northampton geophysics team to undertake a magnetometer survey of c 9ha of land in Section 6 of the A14 Huntingdon to Cambridge Road Improvement Scheme. The client for the work was the A14 Integrated Delivery Team. Some possible archaeological features, suggested to be broadly prehistoric or Roman in date, were detected in the southern portion of the survey area and extensive remains of medieval or early post-medieval ridge and furrow were also detected. However, the effectiveness of the survey was reduced by modern ground disturbance and dense scatters of ferrous debris. As a result of these factors some previously recorded archaeological features in the far south of the survey area proved impossible to detect. |
