Abstract
Between the 22nd and 23rd April 2004 the Archaeological Field Unit (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted an archaeological evaluation at Ten Bell Lane, Soham, Cambridgeshire (TL 5938 7364) in advance of construction of two houses.
Two trenches (total length 45.7m) were excavated within the proposed development area (852m sq). One late medieval pit and two undated parallel shallow ditches 10.5m apart were uncovered. The pit may have been dug to extract sand. The ditches may represent burbage plot boundaries as they are orientated at right angles to Speed Lane, a former medieval street, 20m to the east of the site.
