Abstract: |
In February 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Bleak House Farm, 21 Cambridge Road, Foxton, Cambridgeshire CB22 6SH (NGR TL 4088 4913). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for a new grain store (South Cambs Council Ref. S/2331/16/FL). The evaluation was required based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), and it represents the initial requirement in compliance with the planning condition. . The site is located within a landscape known for multi-period archaeological remains, recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER) and described in the brief (Section 1.2). Surrounding the site are cropmarks of linear features and enclosures (e.g. CHER 08632, 04042, 08927 and 08635). A Saxon cemetery is known some 100m to the sou8th west at Barrington Road (CHER 04209) and further Saxon burials have been found 330m to the south west (CHER 03989). A Scheduled Ancient Monument of a Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon settlement lies 900m to the north east (DCB173). Modern and undated features (ditches, pits and a gully) were recorded. A residual sherd of Late Iron Age - 1st century AD pottery was present in one of the upper fills of a modern pit (F1009 (Trench 1). |
