Godmanchester Flood Alleviation Scheme

On the 17th - 25th July 2008 2006, OA East carried out an archaeological watching brief in Godmanchester (TL 524 270). This monitoring observed the excavation of a number of probing ground works, including bore holes, window samples, trial pits and sediment samples pits. These ground works were undertaken In advance of a proposed flood alleviation scheme The archaeological monitoring was unable to identify any archaeological features, artefacts or definitive archaeological layers. However, the work was successful in gaining an accurate deposit model in regards to the geology of western Godmanchester. Such a model may prove to be invaluable should any further archaeological works (evaluation or excavation) be undertaken in the area.
