| Description | This collection consists of images, spreadsheets, a database and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation by Oxford Archaeology East. Work occurred on land to the rear of No. 79 High Street, Meldreth, Cambridgeshire in August 2019, and March 2020. The first phase of the evaluation consisted of two trenches along the northern edge of an area of proposed residential development. Archaeological features included a series of north-to-south and east to west aligned ditches and a small number of discrete features including a posthole and two large pits. The second phase consisted of four trenches around the southern and eastern edges of the development area. They revealed four pits and three small ditches on north-west to south-east and north to south alignments. |
