Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Stonald Road, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, because the site lay in an area of known archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric onwards. The evaluation revealed two post-medieval field boundary ditches, one oriented east-west and parallel to Stonald Road, and the other extending north from Stonald Road. The north-south ditch can be identified on Ordnance Survey maps up to 1958. Two later pits of uncertain form or function were identified on the site, and are believed to relate to 20th century development. Finds dating from the medieval period onwards were recovered, although the majority of these were from the 18th and 20th centuries. Environmental analysis detected plant remains and residues consistent with manure scattering, and small bones from frog, toad, newt, water vole and field vole. |
