Abstract:
In August 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological evaluation on the former Anglian Water Site, Oldfield Lane/Cromwell Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (NGR TF 4570 0903; Figs. 1 and 2). The evaluation was commissioned ahead of the proposed construction of 42 dwellings and ancillary works. The investigation was required as a planning condition attached to planning approval for the development (Fenland Planning Ref. F/YR10/0532/F). In the Roman period there is evidence for settlement mainly in the form of coin hoards and salt producing sites centred on the west and north-west of the town. During medieval times settlement was in the same area as the Roman occupation and had two foci one centred on the church and castle and the other at the older Old Market. The OS maps show that a building in a small enclosure stood on the north-east part of the site. In the event the evaluation revealed no archaeological features or finds. The site has suffered some modern disturbance but not sufficiently substantial to wholly remove archaeological remains, had they been present. Subsoil L1002 (Trench 1) contained three small residual sherds of medieval (13th - 14th C) pottery.
