Abstract
Between the 19th and 21st February 2008 CAM ARC conducted an archaeological evaluation on the land of Weldon Gap, Rose Lane, Great Chesterford in advance of a proposed single residential development. A subsequent watching brief was carried out between the 22nd and 23rd April 2008.
Two trenches of 8m in length were excavated. These produced evidence of Roman occupation in the 3rd to 4th century AD. Settlement evidence of pits and post holes was found to the north of a substantial boundary ditch. The watching brief further characterised the nature of the Roman remains identified.
There was also a small amount of evidence for pre-Roman activity and of later medieval re-use of the boundary.
