Abstract: |
In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at 38 Cow Lane, Rampton, Cambridgeshire CB24 8QG (NGR TL 4270 6824; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 2no detached dwellings with associated access (South Cambs Council Planning Ref. S/0304/17/FL), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The site had a potential for remains of late Saxon/medieval occupation of the former village and castle site, and for evidence of earlier Saxon activity. Features were found in each trial trench but the posthole (F1007) in Trench 1 cut the topsoil and was modern. Furrows were recorded in Trenches 2 (F1003 and F1010) and 3 (F1014 and F1016), and they adhered to the same N/S directions. In addition to the furrows, a pit and a ditch were recorded in Trench 2 (F1005 and F1012), and a ditch in Trench 3 (F1018). The features and furrows in Trench 2, but not Trench 3, contained medieval pottery, principally 11th - 13th century. Ditch F1012 contained a slightly later medieval sherd of 13th - 14th / 15th century date. The pottery sherds are small and heavily abraded. They were found in association with later material; Pit F1005 (Trench 2) and Furrow F1014 (Trench 3) contained late 19th - 20th century CBM. However, the spacing of the encountered furrows was in keeping with medieval 'broad rig' ridge and furrow ploughing and the 19th - 20th century CBM may represent intrusive material. |
