Abstract: |
In March 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land rear of 9 Churchgate Street, Soham, Cambridgeshire CB7 5DS (NGR TL 5929 7331; 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 two dwellings (East Cambs Council Approval Ref. 17/00495/FUL), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. A residual struck flint was present in Ditch F1011, and L1015 contained a residual Iron Age sherd. L1015 also contained two residual medieval (13th - early 14th century) sherds. Layer L1015 encompassed the entire trench and it contained 18th - 19th century pottery. It overlay features (possible pits, post holes and ditches) and was cut by features (possible pits and wall foundations). The dating of the features pre-dating L1015 is tentative. Ditch F1011 contained one abraded sherd of medieval (11th - 13th century) pottery which may be residual, and Ditch F10149 contained a sherd of medieval (12th - 14th century) pottery in good condition which may be a primary deposit. Pit F1032 contained 18th - 19th century CBM. It may be quite simply that the features are of variable dates. |
