The Cottage, 16 Church Lane, Ely, Cambridgeshire. An Archaeological Evaluation.

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on 14th May 2001, to the rear of 16, Church Lane Ely (TL 5388 8021). This work was commissioned by the landowner, Mr R.A.D. Bateson on recommendation from the County Archaeology Office in advance of the proposed construction of a small extension to the rear of the main building. The results indicate a long history of activity on the site. This has been divided into four broad phases based on the results from the trench: (1) Medieval (2) 16th/17th century (3) 19th/20th century (4) Later 20th century
