Abstract: |
The evaluation area was defined as an area of archaeological interest as it lay between two elements of Teversham's medieval settlement; the village core to the west, and a moated manorial site, known as Manor Farm, to the east. Two prehistoric or Roman ditches were discovered in the southern part of the site. These were believed to be field boundaries associated with settlements recorded in the SMR for Cambridgeshire. Two parallel ditches were found beneath the medieval headland, which suggested that a pre-existing landscape feature, a trackway, was used during the restructuring of the agricultural landscape associated with the development of medieval open field systems. The majority of the site was covered by ridge and furrow which were indicative of medieval cultivation and this suggested that the majority of the area was part of an open field prior to enclosure in the late fifteenth century. Saxo-Norman, late medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds were also revealed during the evaluation, a lack of medieval pottery suggesting a contraction of the village core before expansion in the late medieval period.
