Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Station Road, Warboys, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 310805) between the 11th and the 21st April and 15th August 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting prior to the construction of 120 residential dwellings with associated access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was an area of Anglo-Saxon activity in the western field. An isolated Early Anglo-Saxon inhumation, complete with iron knife and copper alloy buckle, was present in the western end of Trench 17, truncating an undated pit. The artefacts found within the grave and the burial position suggests that it is likely part of a cemetery, possibly extending west/north-west from the site boundary. A large medieval boundary ditch was present immediately to the west of the inhumation. Post-medieval gravel extraction quarry pits were present in the central and eastern fields. |
