Abstract
The Archaeological Field Unit (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to 7 Victoria Street, Littleport in the Fenland area of Cambridgeshire. The work was commissioned by Whitfield Associates and was carried out in advance of development of the former Burberry factory site for new flats, access road and associated services.
Eighteenth century make-up layers were encountered in all three trenches. These are likely to be associated with the construction of the buildings of around this date on the street frontage. Disturbance from modern development on the site was also encountered in Trench 2.
Three trenches totalling 23m were excavated within the footprint of the development area. Archaeology was recorded in two trenches including a ditch dating to the Roman period and intercutting medieval rubbish pits.
