Change log

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation was carried out during December 2002 on a plot of land beside Green head Road, Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire. This was carried out on behalf of ICD Design and in accordance with a specification of works approved by the Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeology Office. A total of 29 metres of trenching split between three trenches revealed that the area had been extensively quarried for clunch. No in situ archaeological deposits were identified. Residual pottery sherds were encountered within the backfill of the quarry or quarries. The underlying solid geology was only encountered in one trench at 2m depth and only within a limited sondage.
