Abstract

An Archaeological Field Uni (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at Hollycroft Farm, Murrow, in the parish of Wisbech St Mary, Cambridgeshire. The work was commissioned by Mr Tony Jarvis and Associates and was carried out in advance of development of the site for six new dwellings with garages, access road and services.
Five trenches totally 114m were excavated within the grounds of the farmhouse. Modern disturbances were evident from very deep foundations. Archaeology was recorded in four trenches including at least two phases of substantial medieval boundary ditches and possible ponds. Some modern post holes were also encountered related to temporary farm buildings on the site.
