Abstract: |
In May 2020, an archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land north of 10 Station Road, Bluntisham, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation, which was commissioned by S W Highland Ltd through their planning consultant Barford Brown and Co, was carried out in support of an outline planning application for the residential development of the site. Of the eleven trenches excavated, only four contained archaeological features, consisting of two small ditches, two broad, shallow pits or vegetation hollows and two small pits or postholes. Stratified dating evidence was similarly sparse, being confined to a fragment of 17th-century clay tobacco pipe stem from the ditch in Trench 1 and three sherds of 13th/14th-century pottery from one of the pits in the same trench. The excavated evidence suggests that the site appears to have been quite heavily disturbed when it was used as an orchard and later, when it was grubbed out. Further disturbance, probably associated with the construction of the adjacent car park, was noted at the southern end of the site. |
