Stibbington Marina, Cambridgeshire: An Archaeological Desktop Assessment

Abstract

This archaeological desk top assessment was requested by Mr P Duggan of Sibson Manor, Stibbington, Cambridgeshire, to assess the likely archaeological impact of a proposed development area (PDA) of c. 6.3ha adjacent to the A1 and River Nene at Sibson, Cambridgeshire. Evaluation of the archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the PDA to be located within a landscape with archaeological finds and features dating from the early prehistoric period to the Medieval period and especially in an area of significant Romano-British settlement and industrial activity, with evidence of a high status building in the vicinity. The PDA is itself located within or immediately adjacent to an area identified as Deserted Medieval Village.
