Fen Drayton Road, Swavesey
History of Fen Drayton Road
An archaeological excavation in this area was carried out in 2019. The report can be found here:

Some indications of late Iron Age / Romano-British settlement were found but most finds related to the medieval period. The discussion in the report concludes that the importance of Swavesey in the medieval period was sufficient to classify it as a town.
