Abstract: |
In September 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Westfield Orchard, Ashwell Street, Kneesworth, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3609 4339). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed removal of existing stables/storage and mobile home and erection of a dwelling and detached garaging with associated drive hardstanding and security gate (South Cambs Council Approval Ref. S/2972/16/FL), The site is located within an area of archaeological potential, with remains recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER). Small assemblages of early Neolithic flint work have been found c.850m to the north-east of the site. A causewayed enclosure is located 1km to the southeast. Aerial photographs show cropmarks of ring ditches surrounding the site; a group of six lie within 150m to the northeast. There are also extensive rectilinear enclosures and trackways, interpreted as Iron Age or Roman, with one field system extending into the western part of the site. The evaluation revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
