Abstract: |
From the 19th August to 9th October 2019 Oxford Archaeology East undertook an archaeological excavation at Fen End, Over, Cambridgeshire (TL 3797 7069). The excavations revealed part of a system of probable Early Roman cultivation beds overlain by more extensive medieval remains. The medieval remains consist of several rectilinear enclosures aligned perpendicular to Fen End Road which probably defined the boundaries of medieval tofts and crofts, and were associated with concentrations of pits. Finds from these features were domestic in character and were dominated by pottery and animal bone, and sampling has produced some relatively rich assemblages of charred plant remains, as well as fish bone. The majority of pottery dated from the 12th to 14th century. |
