Abstract: |
In July and August 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land north of 37-45 King Street, Wimblington, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4176 9268; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 37no new residential dwellings, garages and access, following demolition of existing dwelling and outbuildings (Fenland District Council Approval Ref. F/YR17/0682/F), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The evaluation recorded two ditches which were perpendicular and may represent former field boundaries. One (F1026) contained abraded medieval (11th - 12th century) pottery, but this was likely washed into a post-medieval drainage ditch. Parallel ditches, aligned east/west, were present in Trenches 2, 5 and 6 and represent a second phase of field boundaries, almost certainly more recent. F1022 contained an 18th - 19th century sherd, and the parallel ditches are aligned with the northern boundary of the site, suggesting they represent late post-medieval or early modern fields that were infilled following improvements in agricultural practices and drainage. |
