Post Medieval remains at 1 London Rd, Godmanchester. Monitoring and Recording

On the 6/6/2012, OA East carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at 1 London Rd, Godmanchester (TL 24781 70246). The monitoring took the form of an observation of the reduced ground resulting from the removal of the previous structures, and the excavation of a single 1m by 1m test pit. A sub-surface brick structure was seen in the area of ground reduction, the structure ran outside of the excavation area, and formed a narrow pit, possibly a drain or a machine wheel pit. Several deposits were encountered within the 1m by 1m test pit, the deposits encountered were of post-medieval date, however undated deposits were seen earlier in the sequence. Residual Roman pottery was recovered from later deposits within the sequence.
