Land at 24-26 Crowland Road, Eye Green, Peterborough: An Archaeological Evaluation

On the 14th and 15th of August 2001 the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at 24-26 Crowland Road, Eye Green, Peterborough, in advance of the construction of dwellings and associated ground works. The aim of the intervention was to record and assess the nature of any archaeological evidence encountered and hence to assess the potential for surviving remains. Given the subject site's location within a rich archaeological landscape, and the Iron Age remains discovered immediately to the south, special attention was paid to the identification, interpretation and investigation of deposits and features. During the archaeological evaluation probable quarrying and extensive modern disturbance was observed. This had potentially removed any evidence of early land use.
