Spong Drove, Willingham. An Archaeological Evaluation

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land off of Spong Drove, Willingham, Cambridgeshire involving a programme of six trenches that were intially machine excavated with a further judgemental trench opened towards the end of the excavation programme. Numerous archaeological features in the form of postholes, pits and linears were cut into a buried soil, in addition to midden-type deposits. Pottery recovered from across the site indicated occupation of the locale from the Late Bronze Age through to the 4th century AD. Building material, in the form of roof tiles, may indicate the presence of a Romano-British structure within the immediate vicinity.
