Abstract: |
In December 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench on land adjacent and to the rear of 52 to 56 West Street, Isleham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 6383 7419). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for planning conditions on two separate planning approvals (East Cambs. Council Approval Refs. 14/00309/FUL and 15/01367/FUL) for one new dwelling and one 1 and 1/2 Storey dwelling, garaging and new access drive (Planning apps. 14/00309/FUL and 15/01367/FUL). The earliest finds from the evaluation are residual Roman sherds from Pits F1003 (Trench 1), F1010 and F1012 (Trench 2). The subsoil contained an iron knife blade of probable early Roman date (SF2). A residual medieval (mid 12th - 15th C) sherd and a residual late medieval (15th - 16th C) sherd were also recovered from Subsoil L1001. This context also contained a residual medieval (late 14th - 15th C) brick fragment and a lead weight of probable medieval to post-medieval date (SF1). Three late post-medieval/ modern (18th - 19th century) pits were located in Trench 1 (F1003) and Trench 2 (F1010 and F1012). Trench 2 also contained a clunch and flint wall, M1006. The construction cut for the latter (F1005) truncated Subsoil L1001 and its fill (L1007) contained 18th - 19th century CBM. M1006 is not recorded on historic cartographic maps dating from the late 19th century (Figs. 3 - 6) suggesting that the wall was demolished by this time. Pit F1010 yielded an iron nail of ?post-medieval date. |
