Orton Longueville School, Peterborough. An Archaeological Evaluation

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on the proposed site of an all weather sports pitch at Orton Longueville School, Peterborough (NGR TL 16370 96353). The project was undertaken on behalf of Peterborough City Council. Archaeological remains exposed were limited to possible medieval plough furrows and in-filled post-medieval quarry remains. No evidence of activity associated with the known prehistoric and Roman sites immediately to the east of the Proposed Development Area (PDA) was encountered. Furthermore, the trial trenching results suggest that the ground surface, and therefore any potential archaeological horizons, within the PDA has been highly truncated by quarrying and landscaping prior to the laying out of the existing school playing fields
