Abstract: |
In December 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Warboys Road, Land at Copper Beeches, Pidley, Cambridgeshire PE28 3DA (NGR TL 3269 7823; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of two dwellings with garages (Hunts DC Approval Ref. 19/00117/OUT). It was required based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The site is located within an area of archaeological potential, with remains recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER). It is located in the northern (Church End) area of the village of Pidley. The Church of All Saints lies just 25m to the northeast (NHLE 1163582), and is a mid 19th century rebuild of a medieval church. Within evaluation Trench 1 Ditch F1005 and Ditch Terminal F1013 contained highly fragmented Late Iron Age pottery. The features also contained small quantities of animal bone. Ditches F1008 and F1010 contained no finds but like the dated features were below Subsoil L1003, and may have been broadly contemporary. Ditch F1023 contained modern (19th - 20th century) pottery was likely a continuation of Ditch F1019 (Trench 2). The latter contained 18th - 19th century CBM. Ditch F1017 cut Made Ground L1007 and was therefore also of relatively modern date. |
