Abstract: |
Further evaluation provided evidence for a long-lived boundary, represented by a set of three ditches in the north-western part of the site, to the north and parallel to Barton Road. Faunal remains from two of the ditches produced radiocarbon dates of 856-989 cal AD (95.4% probability; SUERC-75140; 1131±33 BP) and 1023-1159 cal AD (94.5% probability; SUERC-70944; 947±33 BP). Continuations of these ditches were not uncovered in the eastern part of the site during subsequent excavation, where they may have been truncated by later activity. An undated ditch-like feature revealed during the evaluation was found to be part of a network of trench-like ditches that probably represent wartime practice trenches, excavated by the British Army at this former military barracks site. The lack of any further remains on the site supports cartographic evidence that shows that, until recently, this area lay within the agricultural setting of Barton Manor, beyond the southern limit of the city of Ely. |
