Description
The second year of test pitting in Southminster was undertaken in April 2016 where an additional 10 test pits were excavated by 41 students from three local secondary schools, as part of the Independent Learning Archaeology Field School (ILAF), run by Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA). This brought the total test pits so far excavated in the town to 22. The 2016 sites were mainly in the North and West of the town with a few also scattered between the 2015 locations on Queen Street, Queenborough Road, North End, Crippelgate, Hall Road and Burnham Road, with an additional pit also excavated on the King George V Playing Fields.
