Roman Remains at Glendower, Mill Common, Huntingdon

On the 4th of February 2003 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on 440 square metres of land to the rear of Glendower, Mill Common, Huntingdon (NGR TL 23714 71304) by staff of the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council. The proposed development involved the construction of a single dwelling. The project was commissioned by Fauxward Homes Ltd. The work was carried out in accordance with a specification (dated 14.01.03) prepared by the AFU in response to a brief for an archaeological evaluation issued by Andy Thomas of the Cambridgeshire County Council.
The evaluation has identified significant Roman riverside activity which may be related to a Roman villa less than 100m to the west, at Whitehills. A large channel, or a series of channels, which contained Roman building material, was identified in Trench 1.
