Abstract
The evidence from site indicated the proximity of a Roman settlement, probably lying to the west of the excavation area, while further enhancing the picture of extensive Medieval settlement. A Medieval timber building and paddock system were uncovered dating to the 9th/ 10th Century, with the surrounding field/ paddock pattern maintained until the 12th Century. After this period there is movement towards the settlement periphery along West Fen Road and a marked decline in activity, possibly reflecting wider land consolidation with much of the former settlement area being given over to the plough by the 15th Century.
