Abstract: |
In November 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Malton Workshops, Malton Road, Orwell, Cambridgeshire SG8 6PE (NGR TL 372 484; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed erection of a new storage/light industrial building, provision of new parking and change of use of the whole site to B1/B8 storage/light industrial use (South Cambs Council Approval Ref. S/1473/17/FL). The evaluation was required based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The earliest finds from the evaluation were two sherds of mid 9th - 12th pottery from Topsoil L1000 (Trench 3). Undated features, primarily possible pits or hollows, were found in all three trenches. The features in Trench 3 (Ditches F1027 and F1033; and ?Pit F1035) contained medieval (late 12th - mid 14th century) pottery. The deeper pits (F1018 and F1020) may represent quarry pits and the ditches in Trench 3 (F1027, F1030 and F1033) appeared to represent the re-cutting of a boundary ditch. Modern features were present in Trench 1 and comprised ?Pit F1008, Wall Foundation Trenches F1012 and F1022, and Construction Cut F1014. |
