Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out in connection with the creation of a new commercial centre within the Conservation Area of the city of Ely. Evidence of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval activity had been recorded in the vicinity, and a Saxon abbey had been founded nearby. During the evaluation, traces of medieval and post-medieval pits were recorded over much of the site. A small number of post holes, possibly medieval in date, may have represented temporary structures or boundaries. The remains of 19th or 20th century buildings were identified at the frontage on Newnham Street. Thin layers of probable medieval occupation deposits were also found in this area. Further features included probable medieval boundaries, a medieval oven and the edge of a post-medieval oven or well. [Au(adp)]
