72 West Street, Isleham

Between the 28th and 29th of May 2019, an archaeological evaluation was carried out at 72 West Street, Isleham. Four 15m trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. A single feature was recorded in Trench 1, in the form of an undated sub-rectangular pit. The only other area of interest was in Trench 4, where a layer of modern brick rubble and flint had been laid down to act as a “courtyard” for the surrounding three outbuildings.
The lack of archaeological evidence suggests that the site lies outside of the known areas of settlement and activity recorded in the Historic Environment Record.
