Abstract: |
1.1 Archaeology Ltd (PCA) on land to the rear of 32C-34A Newgate Street, Doddington, Cambridgeshire , PE15 0SR on the 9th and 10th of July 2018. The evaluation identified a series of north-west to south-east linear features, some of which would have served as drainage ditches. A few examples consisted of lines of rectangular pits, a phenomenon that is often observed in the fenland. These have previously been interpreted as marling pits, created in order to mix the excavated clay geology with the peaty topsoil, to consolidate and 'weigh-down' the soil and control its pH. In common with the other examples observed in the region, the examples at Doddington are of a post-medieval date. |
