Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning permission for a new housing development at Mitchells Farm, School Lane Wilburton, Cambs, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake the archaeological excavation of the site. A previous archaeological evaluation, carried out by the Cambridge Archaeological Field Unit, demonstrated the survival of features dating to the medieval and post- medieval periods. Three areas were investigated by the Heritage Network. The collected evidence showed that there were four phases of usage on the site. The earliest phase dated to the late Bronze/early Iron Age. The second phase dated to the medieval period, when the study area was sub-divided into plots with ditched boundaries. This boundary alignment appears to have continued into the post-medieval and modern periods. Modern activity relating to the site''s use as a farm was also identified in all excavation areas. |
