Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Between the 9th of March and 5th of November 2018 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological excavation on land at 26 South End, Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth, Cambridgeshire. A preceding evaluation encountered a grid-like arrangement of ditches interpreted as part of a field system laid out respecting the slope of the river valley. The excavation identified further evidence of this field/enclosure system and recovered evidence to date it as medieval. The most notable element of the site, however, was the presence of a set of ditches stratigraphically earlier than the medieval ones but containing only very limited dating evidence. These were identified as the same features recorded during a previous excavation at Bassingbourn Village College. It appears that they may represent a large-scale landscape boundary of probably Iron Age to Roman date associated with the Mile Ditches and the limits of the area controlled by the Baldock oppidum. They would also appear to form part of a wider landscape of prehistoric ditches and boundaries present in the eastern Chilterns and along the route of the Icknield Way. | |||||||||||
