Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site, which lay adjacent to the ancient village green and within the town closes of the medieval settlement. Prehistoric evidence was generally rare in the Willingham area, but Roman material had been found in a general scatter across the fen edge. Recent archaeological excavation to the west had uncovered extensive evidence for the Anglo-Saxon settlement, which had continued throughout the Middle Ages. Historic maps suggested that the southeast corner of the site was developed by 19th century, although adjacent areas were built up by the late 16th century. Modern borehole investigations established that areas of rubble hard-core underlay much of the site. The evaluation revealed that the site had indeed been heavily truncated by modern building work. Sparse late post-medieval modern features were located. [Au(abr)] |
