Abstract: |
In September 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land north of Needingworth Industrial Estate, Needingworth Road, Holywell-cum-Needingworth, Cambridgeshire PE27 4NB (NGR TL 3277 7204). The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a new storage building and use of land for open storage with surfacing, drainage works and landscaping. It was undertaken in support of a planning application (Hunts DC Ref. 1401871OUT), based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team requiring a programme of archaeological work. Numerous undated features were found in the majority of trial trenches, and these comprised pits, postholes, ditches and gullies. Small quantities of medieval pottery were found in a small number of ditches broadly spread across the site (Ditch F1005 (Trench 3), Ditch F1024 (Trench 10) and Ditch F1168 (Trench 35) The principal archaeology revealed by the evaluation was that associated with Geophysical Anomalies Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Geophysical Anomaly No. 4, an enclosure was not detected, and the ridge and furrow (Anomaly No.5) was possibly derived from modern drains. Anomalies Nos. 1 - 3 represent an enclosure (No.2) and linear features (Nos. 1 and 2). The dating evidence from the ditches is consistently prehistoric and predominantly late Neolithic/ early Bronze and late Bronze Age/ early Iron Age. |
