Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land East of Tunbridge Court, Tunbridge Lane, Bottisham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5471 6100) between the 22nd and the 24th August 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by Greensons Land and Cattle Co. in response to an archaeological brief composed by Kasia Gdaniec of the Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was the discovery of a cobbled trackway, flanked by two ditches, in Trench 1. Associated with the trackway were a series of agricultural field boundaries and enclosures, as well as a possible robbed-out wall and accompanying demolition spread (Trench 2). The features did not yield large finds assemblages which suggests the site lies on the peripheries of settlement, identified to the south (Roman) and north-west (Medieval; HER 01124) of the site. The findings are in keeping with the results of previous excavations in this part of Bottisham, which have investigated the peripheral areas and infield enclosures of a Roman farmstead (ECB 1234) as well as the possible villa site (MCB20322) as well as known historic remains such as the Deserted Medieval Village at Bottisham Park (HER 01124). |
