Abstract: |
Between the 18th and 22nd July 2005, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 96-98 Great Whyte, Ramsey, Cambridge (TL 2855 8543) by staff of Cambridgeshire County Council''s Archaeological Field Unit (CCC AFU). The proposed development includes construction of several dwellings. The project was commissioned by Fauxward Homes.The evaluation has demonstrated the presence of medieval and post-medieval activity relating to land reclamation of the fen edge. In addition a small number of late medieval features were uncovered in Trench 1. Of particular interest was the presence of metal working on the site. A group of medieval fishing lead weights can be viewed within a wider context that stresses the importance of fishing in this part of the fens. |
