Archaeological Evaluation at Whittlesey Sub-station Number 1

Abstract

The Cambridge Archaeological Unit carried out a trenching evaluation in the footprint of a proposed substation (Number 1) for Hanson Brick at Bradley Fen, Whittlesey, on the 16th July 1999. No archaeological features were recorded within the evaluation area. The evaluation established that a 'buried soil' exists in this area. The presence of artefacts of prehistoric characteristics and the evidence of the Roman jar base suggests a Roman and prehistoric presence in the vicinity.
