The Red Lion Hotel: An Archaeological Excavation

Abstract

An archaeological excavation was undertaken within the grounds of the Red Lion Hotel, Whittlesford Bridge, Cambridgeshire, (NGR TL 4848 4725), in two phases from 7th December to 21st December 2009 and 11th January to 19th January 2010 in preparation of a proposed development. The excavation revealed linear and pit features; the majority were undated with the exception of two linears that contained 15th century pottery. The features were overlain by a buried plough soil that contained material culture from the later prehistoric period through to the 19th century.
