Sheep's Green Lammas Land
This is an area of common land by the River Cam either side of Fen Causeway to the west of the river. To the east of the river it is south of Fen Causeway (north being Coe Fen).
Lammas rights entitled commoners to pasture following the harvest, between Lammas day, 12 August to 6 April, even if they did not have other rights to the land. Such rights sometimes had the effect of preventing enclosure and building development on agricultural land.
