Abstract:
A programme of archaeological monitoring of groundworks relating to the restoration and enlargement of an existing pond at Wandlebury Country Park, Stapleford, Cambridgeshire CB22 3AE (NGR TL 49413 53421) on the 13th and 22nd of November 2019. The watching brief over the area of the pond enlargement identified two pits, dating to the Early Iron Age XXX period, as well as partly defining the extent of truncation relating to the existing pond. The pipe trench excavated from the pond to the north-eastern corner of West House exposed a further four archaeological features, as well as deposits relating to the demolition of Gogmagog House in 1956 XXX. One of these features was orientated off the former line of the northern wall of this property and is thought to represent a robber cut for a wall relating to it. The remaining three features probably represented two pits and a ditch; the ditch and one of the pits did not contain artefact assemblages, although the fills were of a similar character to the Iron Age pit identified in the footprint of the pond. The final pit could be dated to the post-medieval XXX period. The prehistoric features uncovered are of a comparable date and character to those discovered during the partial excavation of the periphery of the hillfort interior in 1994-1997 by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit and demonstrate this activity continues further into the hillfort interior.
