Abstract:
Between March 2002 and January 2005, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (formerly Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT)) carried out five phases of archaeological investigation on land adjacent to the High Street and Over Road, Willingham. One ditch yielded a small quantity of Late Iron Age pottery, adding to the existing picture of Iron Age and Roman settlement around the later village. The Anglo-Saxon activity recorded to the east of the High Street was not mirrored on the current site, suggesting that it lay within the agricultural hinterland of the middle and late Saxon village. The principal archaeological features revealed in all phases of the investigation were ditches, likely representing drainage ditches or property boundaries. Finds were sparse, although several features yielded medieval and post-medieval pottery, suggesting a long-established property boundary layout in this part of the village. Pits, perhaps originally dug for extraction of natural sand and gravel, had then been used for disposal of domestic refuse. The site appears to have been a ''backyard'' area on the periphery of the medieval and post-medieval village, with little evidence of structures or of any specific industrial or craft activities being carried out.
