Badlingham Manor Farm, Chippenham, Cambridgeshire: An Archaeological Investigation

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to address a pre-determination condition placed upon planning consent for the construction of a reservoir at Badlingham Manor Farm, Chippenham, Cambridgeshire (TL 6832, 7040). This comprised of an initial fieldwalking survey followed by the excavation of eighteen trenches, representing 934m of trenching. A total of 46 pieces of struck flint were recovered during the fieldwalking, a mixed assemblage representing the movement of people through the landscape following the course of the River Kennett; however, no archaeological features were recorded within any of the trenches
