Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at land at 49 Middleton Way, Fen Drayton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3308 6777) between the 2nd and 3rd May 2017. The archaeological work was commissioned by Ian Waters in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of two detached residential dwellings with associated access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation identified two ditches, one each in Trenches 1 and 2. Both contained small, highly abraded sherds of Earlier Iron Age pottery. Despite the condition of the pottery, the location of the site in an area of known prehistoric activity indicates that the ditches present at 49 Middleton Way are likely to be Iron Age in date. |
