Ramsey Millfields Flood Alleviation Scheme

On the 10th and 11th December 2012, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation on a recreation ground off Mill Lane, Ramsey (528957, 285517). This was ahead of works for flood alleviation with an associated compound. The evaluation revealed a number of pits, identified as probable marling pits, and two very shallow ditches (on two separate alignments). The majority of the features were devoid of datable finds, although post-medieval blue and white porcelain was recovered from two intercutting pits.
