Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Rapid topsoil stripping for gravel extraction south of Little Paxton in 1961 and 1962 revealed several thousand archaeological features over more than 20 acres. Records were made of a grave, a ring ditch, pits, wells, hearths, ovens, post holes and ditches of various periods, although very few could be excavated before destruction. Part of the area examined in detail revealed at least two phases of Late Saxon occupation, perhaps an agricultural settlement within the berewick of Little Paxton. At one time the area was occupied by a ditched sub-rectangular enclosure, with a double-gated entrance, and containing pits and wells, and perhaps also houses in the unexplored part. A ditch-system probably represented a droveway and field boundaries. At another time in the Late Saxon period part of the area was occupied by a circular palisaded and ditched enclosure. Controlled excavation could not take place before destruction, but much 10th-11th century pottery, almost exclusively St Neots ware, was recovered together with a normal range of stone, metal and bone-work and several wooden objects (see also 70/843 for RB settlement here and summary of other finds from the area).
