Eltisley Parish, Cambridgeshire: A Desktop Study

This desktop assessment was commissioned by Eltisley History Society

Based on the comprehensive assessment of the available sources, the study has attempted to define the historical background and archaeological potential of the Parish of Eltisley.

Pre-Medieval finds in the area are scarce.

By contrast, medieval remains are well documented and survive as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs. The village itself preserves elements of the medieval layout. During the post-medieval period the medieval greens and the moated sites continued to attract occupation.
