Abstract: |
In December 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Bartlow Park, Camps Road, Bartlow, Cambridgeshire CB21 4PP (NGR TL 5855 4501; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to outline planning approval for the construction of a single-storey dwelling and associated works (South Cambs Council Approval Ref. S/3115/15/FL). The evaluation was undertaken based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The archaeological features were located in Trench 2 which was closest to the earlier excavation (Fig.3), and the features comprise predominantly Roman pits. The earliest finds were prehistoric struck flint, including a blade core that may relate to evidence for early Neolithic activity in the near vicinity. The Roman pits appear to represent the disposal of domestic rubbish associated with a villa to the east, and are a continuation of dense Roman remains recorded by an excavation adjacent to the east. The patterns of consumption are also consistent, with the pottery focussed on the products of kilns at Hadham and Horningsea and supplemented by fine ware beakers and dishes, and mortaria; while the animal bone is dominated by cattle supplemented by pig/boar and oyster, with extensive evidence for butchery and skinning. The early-mid 4th century AD chronology of the pottery is supported by a coin (nummus) of the House of Constantine, dated c.AD330-1; while the small finds included two bone pins that were potentially lost during domestic life. |
