Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd. were requested by Mr. P. Duggan to undertake a scheme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land proposed for the new Sibson Marina, at Stibbington, in Cambridgeshire, to investigate the potential for and survival of buried archaeological remains. The site lies on the eastern periphery of Stibbington, close to the Roman settlement of Durobrivae where several major Roman roads converged at a major crossing of the River Nene. Roman kilns, buildings and statues have been revealed during work at the Wansford railway junction to the northwest of the site, confirming industrial and possibly ritual activity beyond the confines of the settlement. Geophysical survey of the site has identified potential archaeological anomalies. Trenches were excavated across the site, confirming the presence of buried archaeological remains below and within the layers of alluvium resulting from the river flooding, concentrated on the higher ground in the southwest of the site. Excavations in the central and northeastern areas of the site identified evidence of prolonged and extensive flooding, effectively prohibiting historic activity. |
