Abstract: |
Trial trench evaluation, metal detector survey and earthwork survey on land at Cambridge Road, Fenstanton. The bulk of features were found in trenches located in western half of site. These comprised multiple boundary or enclosure ditches, several pits and some post holes. Most features contained relatively large quantities of artefacts including brooch, coins. pottery and building materials, dating mainly to the 2nd and 3rd century AD Roman period. Dateable Roman features and finds become less dense towards the centre and south-east corner of the site before increasing again in the north-east corner. The earthwork survey recorded a large curvilinear bank with three subsidiary parallel banks, and a small elliptical mound, in the northern half of the site. The date of these is unclear, it could be a medieval headland, or pre-date the medieval/post-medieval period. |
