Littleport Cemetary, Littleport, Cambridgeshire: An Archaeological Evaluation.

Abstract

Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook a trenched evaluation on open farmland located to the north of Littleport, Cambridgeshire, in advance of the proposed development of the site. The evaluation identified the presence of a 'roddon' within the western half of the development area; several small, shallow, undated linears; and a large number of post-medieval clay extraction pits located towards the eastern end of the site. Also identified was a layer of dumped, probable Romano-British, briquetage material abutting the roddon.
