Abstract: |
During May 2020 Phoenix Consulting Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological trench evaluation across a proposed Aircraft Hanger on land at Little Staughton Airfield, Little Staughton, Huntingdonshire. The work was carried out on behalf of IAE Ltd and forms an archaeological evaluation required to assess the archaeological character of the site. The evaluation forms information required to inform the Planning Application (19/02613/FUL). The site lies in an area of known archaeology, predominantly dating from the Iron Age and Roman periods. The site lies withtin the World War 2 Littkle Staughton Military Airfield, developed in 1942 as a USAAF Bomber Station and decommissioned in 1946. Five trial trenches were excavated in order to appropriately evaluate the site. No archaeological deposits or finds were encountered during the trenching exercise. Deep overburden deposits were encountered durng the trenching exercise, which is likely a result of the extensive landscaping of this part of the Airfield during the War. |
