Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at 10a Cheddars Lane, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, November 2023
No full textThis collection consists of images, GIS and site record data from an archaeological evaluation by Oxford Archaeology's Cambridge office. Work occurred at 10a Cheddar's Lane in Cambridge in November 2023. Three test pits were opened around the central part of the site. Although no archaeological remains were encountered, subsoil was preserved to varying degrees across all three trenches. This represents a true negative result in an area near to Newmarket Road, which has been heavily truncated by 19th-century industrial activity and extraction pits

Kingsmead Quarry, Horton, Berkshire. Volume 1, 2003 - 2009 Excavations.
No full textExcavations undertaken between 2003 and 2009 in advance of the construction of a processing plant and subsequent phases of gravel extraction at Kingsmead Quarry, Horton, Berkshire, have revealed archaeological evidence from the Late Glacial to the modern periods. This first volume (of two) brings together the results from the investigations by Wessex Archaeology on over 19 hectares of a vast and complex archaeological landscape, which have undoubtedly enhanced the knowledge of the Middle Thames Valley substantially. The excavation of a series of palaeochannels within and to the edges of the archaeological excavations has also provided information and dating to enhance our knowledge of the contemporary environment in the vicinity of the site. The data recovered has enabled a chronological framework for the development and evolution of the palaeochannels. Two rare and extremely well-preserved Early Neolithic timber buildings and two substantial Middle Bronze Age farmsteads with significant metalwork were found during the 2003−2009 excavations, whilst the evidence retrieved for the Iron Age and Romano-British periods demonstrated the continued development and reorganisation of the landscape. Later periods were also represented. The discoveries at Horton represent a substantial excavation whose results add to the growing wealth of information surrounding the continued and extensive inhabitation of the valley as a whole. Large quantities of structural evidence, augmented by considerable quantities of artefactual and environmental information, show Horton to be a fascinating archaeological site. This volume represents a detailed and extensive account of the findings, Horton's positioning in the wider archaeological landscape and its relationship with the contemporary sites in the surrounding area. This submission to ADS includes publication Volume 1, detailing the 2003 - 2009 Excavations, and appendices comprising the technical and specialist reports
Digital Archive from an Archaeological Watching Brief at 50 Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, Essex, June to November 2023
No full textThis collection consists of images, reports, site record data and a vector graphic from an Archaeological monitoring by Colchester Archaeological Trust. Work occurred at 50 Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, Essex, from June to November 2023.

Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation at Uplands Farm, Stone Cross, East Sussex, 2018 and 2019
No full textThis collection consists of images, spreadsheets, databases, vector graphics, reports, GIS site record data from archaeological mitigation works by Wessex Archaeology. Work occurred at Uplands Farm, Stone Cross, East Sussex, from 2018 to 2019. The evaluation trial trenches were positioned to target anomalies identified in those surveys. Of 70 trial trenches excavated, 42 of them contained archaeological remains and/or deposits, with three concentrations recorded within the site. The excavation recovered finds and environmental information related to settlement and salt production (Romano-British) ranging from the Mesolithic to the Early Medieval
Digital Archive from a Geophysical Survey at Pury End, Towcester, Northamptonshire, 2018 to 2024
No full textThis collection consists of geophysical data and GIS data from a geophysical survey at Pury End, Towcester, Northamptonshire. The survey was conducted by MOLA Northampton between 2018 and 2024. The 2018 works detected an L-shaped section of ditch likely to represent an Iron Age or Roman enclosure, linear anomalies from possible ditches and widespread evidence of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation. The 2024 survey detected several ditches probably forming parts of two separate enclosures as well as a long section of ditch which perhaps forms part of a wider field system
Digital Archive from an Archaeological Watching Brief at Michaelstowe Farm, Ramsey Road, Ramsey, Essex, 2021 to 2022
No full textThis collection consists of a CAD drawing, site images and records, and reports from an archaeological watching brief at Michaelstowe Farm, Ramsey Road, Ramsey, Essex. Works were conducted by Colchester Archaeological Trust between June 2021 and February 2022 during groundworks for a new housing development. Primarily walls and a yard area related to the demolished post-medieval farm buildings were uncovered, as well as a post-medieval pit and a modern post-hole.
