Description
Braybrooke trenched the field belonging to J. Parker Hamond, which lay beyond the Cam and was skirted by the modern road from Chesterford to Ickleton, in 1856.
Note: The precise location of the excavation is not known, but the mapped location of this record is presumed to be correct as it broadly matches the description of the location given by source <1>. This event record had formerly been mapped to TL 5040 4250, which is also the location the NRHE record attributes to the excavation, and another possible (though less likely) location for the work.
