Abstract: |
Between the 4th of January and the 8th of January 2016 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological test pit evaluation at Wimpole Park, Cambridgeshire. The work was carried out on behalf of the National Trust following a scheme agreed with Historic England. A total of 76 test pits were dug in advance of tree planting to restore the historic parkland of the formal gardens. Of these were 13 located in archaeologically sensitive areas. Evidence of medieval building platforms, a cobbled surface and an area of re-used ceramic building material were found close to a medieval track way at the north end of the evaluated area. In the southern part of the evaluation area test pits revealed a late 18th or early 19th century pathway and a buried soil. |
