Abstract
Between 9th and 10th April 2018 Oxford Archaeology East carried out monitoring and recording during the excavation of the foundation trench for an extension and the rear of 24 Taylor’s Lane, Swavesey, Cambridgeshire.
The site was located within the “Castle Hill” earthworks, a set of earthworks associated with a medieval castle and planned town, which are a scheduled monument (National Heritage List for England Entry No 1006913; Cambridgeshire HER ref DCB337).
An E-shaped foundation trench measuring 14.48m in total length and 0.6m wide was excavated revealing an undated north-east to south-west aligned ditch visible at three points within the trench. A large pit which contained a horse femur was revealed in the north-west corner of the trench.
Although neither of these features could be securely dated they are likely to represent a continuation of medieval (12th-14th century) activity recorded during more extensive excavation immediately to the west of the site (Gilmour 2019).
