Post-medieval pottery, King George V Memorial Playing Field, off Station Road (North) (EHER 48865)

2015 Test Pit 10. Post-medieval pottery was recovered from one of 12 test pits excavated as part of an Access Cambridge Archaeology project. The finds suggest little activity at the site before the 19th century.

April 2015. Access Cambridge Archaeology test pitting. All the pottery excavated from Test Pit 10 dates to the 16th century and later as Glazed Red Earthenware, Border Ware and Staffordshire Slipware. The majority of the pottery however dates as 19th century ‘Victorian’ wares, indicating that there was very little activity at the site before that time. The other finds consist of tile, ceramic building material (CBM), glass, coal, a coin/token, slate, fragments of brick and glass. A considerable assemblage of modern items were also recovered. <1>
