Land at Westfield Farm, Ely: An Archaeological Evaluation

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation was conducted on land at Westfield Farm, St Johns Road, Ely and 18 archaeological trenches were excavated across an area of proposed housing (planning ref: E/06/00174/FUM). Trenches 1-10 to the north of Westfield Farm did not locate any archaeological remains. In the triangle of land to the south of the Farm, human remains were discovered in Trench 13 at shallow depth, and a further five trenches and open areas were excavated in order to define the remains of a small Anglo-Saxon cemetery tentatively dated to the late seventh century.
