Abstract:
The extensive prehistoric landscapes of the western and southern fen edge have, for many years, dominated the archaeology of the Early–Middle Bronze Age in the region. However, within the last decade, large-scale excavations to the south of Cambridge particularly have revealed extensive Bronze Age remains that are redressing this previous geographical bias. Recent evidence from the new Marleigh development, near Fen Ditton, excavated between 2015 and 2018, provides an important addition to a growing corpus of southern Cambridgeshire sites and an opportunity to further enhance our understanding of Bronze Age activity in the region. This paper presents the results of the excavation of two Early Bronze Age funerary monuments and a Middle Bronze Age enclosed settlement recorded amongst later Iron Age and Early Roman settlement remains at the High Ditch Road site.
