Medieval and Post Medieval Remains at Mitchell's Farm, Wilburton: An Archaeological Evaluation

Between the 13th and 18th October 2000 the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council carried out an archaeological evaluation land on Mitchell's Farm, School Lane Wilburton (TL484748). The work was commissioned by L.J. Gawn Associates for the Trustees of B.S. Pell (Deceased). The proposed development includes the construction of seven new dwellings with associated access and services within a total area of 0.56 hectares.

The evaluation revealed probable medieval occupation in the north eastern part of the site in the form of post holes and ditches containing Ely Ware pottery (1200-1350AD). Post-medieval deposits including structural remains and field boundaries were revealed in the northern and central parts of the site. The southern part of the development area was largely given over to cultivation throughout the medieval and post medieval periods.
