Abstract: |
Six trenches were excavated in advance of industrial development on land off Wisbech Road in Littleport. A series of linear features evidencing episodes of land division and drainage were exposed. For the most part these features were undated, although small quantities of worked flint (Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic) and a single sherd of Late Iron Age pottery suggest a limited degree of prehistoric activity. These were probably residual in the upper fill of a ditch. A large ditch of 18th/19th century date ran across the site. The only dateable features on the side were ditches 303 and 404, which produced pottery and ceramic building material suggesting an 18th/19th century date. |
