Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation Adjacent to 26 Taylors Lane, Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, March 2024

This collection comprises images, GIS data, and spreadsheets from an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to 26 Taylors Lane, Swavesey, Cambridgeshire. This work was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2024. The site is located within the Castle Hill Earthworks Scheduled Monument. A cluster of four pits was exposed within Trench 3, with two of the features producing small assemblages of 12th to 14th century medieval pottery. Several ditches were also revealed. The bulk soil samples recovered provided evidence of domestic settlement activity, with mixed charred cereals, hazelnut shells, and other cultivated species identified alongside small quantities of associated weeds. The features encountered represent a continuation of activity observed during previous fieldwork in the immediate vicinity, relating to the early phases of occupation at Swavesey Castle.
