Land off Wesleyan Road, Peterborough: An Archaeological Evaluation

On the 12th May 1999, the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council undertook an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Wesleyan Road, Peterborough (TF 1912 0140). A 0.45 hectare area was sampled through the excavation of trial trenches. The object of the evaluation was to establish the nature and extent of survivng archaeological remains in advance of the proposed development site.

In spite of the record of pottery from the site the evaluation in fact revealed no evidence of archaeological remains. Perhaps the original finds of pottery were due to the importation of soil or a location error exists in the SMR.
