Abstract/Summary
A total of 110 trial trenches were excavated in archaeological mitigation for the first stage of construction of a new Anglian Water mains pipeline. Eleven trenches contained features of potential archaeological interest. Only eight sherds of pottery were recovered in total and suggest Iron Age and medieval dates for some of the featurees. A number of features are undated. Whilst the results do not appear to indicate any major archaeological constraint on the development, it is recommended that a targeted watching brief be undertaken during soil removal in the vicinity of eight of the trenches where there were suggestions of archaeological features in the pipeline easement.
