The Willows, Long Lane, Fowlmere

Between 14th and 18th November 2016, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological excavation at the Willows, Fowlmere. Very few finds were recovered from the site despite the relatively large number of features and of interventions excavated within them, and there were no features to suggest occupation in the immediate area with the exception of a potential beam slot. However, the presence of ditches and possible post hole lines, indicates that the site had been divided up and utilised, probably for small-scale agriculture, during the medieval and post-medieval periods.
