Abstract: |
Between the 13th and 17th of May 2019 Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land to the rear of 9 West End, Wilburton, Cambridgeshire (centred on TL 4775 7495). The evaluation consisted of five trenches that were excavated within the area of a proposed residential development, covering 5% of the c.0.90ha area. The site was located on a ridge of high ground at the western edge of the village. The ground sloped down into the valley base to the south and into the core of the village to the east. The trenches revealed a fairly dense concentration of Early Romano-British ditches in the central and north-eastern part of the site that indicated the presence of Roman (and possibly earlier) activity that had ended by c.AD70. In addition, three post-medieval ditches were identified in the same area representing a post-medieval field system on the edge of the village. Further undated ditches and pits spread across the evaluated area (probably part of the Romano-British or post-medieval field system) and a single posthole was present in the western half of the site. The south-eastern corner of the site was in a slight depression, overlooked by trees that have been on the site since the mid-19th century. A layer of colluvium filled the depression. |
