Abstract: |
For the month of July 2017 the new route for the Internal Drainage Board (IDB) drain at Must Farm Quarry, Whittlesey, was redirected, located to the west of the existing Main IDB Drain. The work was carried out in accordance to a brief set out by the Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team on behalf of Forterra. This section of the scheme is part of a longer scheme of works. The new drain covered a length of approximately 1300m, with depths reaching between 0.40m and 3.50m below the topsoil. The drain exposed layers of fen deposits, and the northern half of the drain exposed a gravel ridge with a preserved buried soil, with artefact scatters and three wooden stakes. |
