Abstract
A watching brief of Market Lane, Linton, was undertaken in July 1991 by the Archaeological Section of Cambridgeshire County council, in order to assess the potential remains of medieval and Post-medieval remains relating to the former market held on the site.
Eleven trenches were opened by the contractors, each roughly 0.4m x 2m and 0.6 - 0.9m deep and sections were fully recorded and described.
Trenches 1-5 showed remains of building foundations, largely undatable due to the lack of finds in situ and previous wide-spread disturbance. Trenches 6-11 showed recent disturbance cut into natural subsoil.
Comparison with documentary sources show that the foundations revealed are probably those of structures shown on an 1823 Pre-enclosure map of Linton. No evidence was found of Medieval occupation.
