Summary
SUMMARY In December 2006, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation on behalf of CgMs Consulting at the site of the former Lion Mills, Soham, Cambridgeshire (NGR: TL 590 729). The evaluation revealed medieval ditches and pits close to Clay Street at the northern edge of the site, together with an undated ditch parallel to the road frontage. Three ditches of uncertain function were also found at the south-west of the site. These may be of medieval or post-medieval date. 1 INTRODUCTION-----------------------------
