Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by NPS Archaeology on the site of a proposed new sheltered housing scheme off 4a Cannon Street and 17-19 West Street, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. The proposed development includes the construction of 14 new dwellings following the demolition of existing buildings. Three trenches measuring between 3m and 8 m long by 1.8m were excavated within the footprint of the proposed development. Of the three trenches, one produced a pit of post-medieval date and another post-medieval artefacts from one layer. Although archaeological evidence was scarce with no real indication of any earlier settlement before the post-medieval period, the artefact assemblage indicates that activity near to the proposed development site is likely. |
