Abstract: |
Between the 7th and the 22nd of October 2019, Oxford Archaeology East (OA East) conducted an archaeological investigation at land off Manor Road, Witchford, Cambridgeshire (centred TL 5036 7927) ahead of residential development. Twenty-five trenches were excavated. The majority of archaeological remains were identified within the northern field and the eastern half of the southern field. In the northern field, a large boundary ditch, which contained a single residual prehistoric pottery sherd and a ditch containing an undated articulated cow skeleton were uncovered. Ditches and gullies recognised within the eastern half of the southern filed are aligned on two orientations and as such suggest two possible phases of probable medieval agricultural activity, relating to a settlement nearby, but not within the site. These remains were extensive but not intensive in nature, indicating a low level of utilisation of this area. |
