Abstract:
The National Trust estate at Wimpole in south-west Cambridgeshire is famous for its 17th-century house, extensive landscape gardens and parkland. However, archaeological excavations on the estate at Lamp Hill revealed the site’s early history in the form of a Late Iron Age/Conquest period farmstead with significant and unusual characteristics. Principal amongst the discoveries were distinctive groups of artefacts, including brooches, coins, items with a military association and votives. Particularly notable is a copper-alloy spatula handle of a figure bearing a torc, possibly a Continental import. Links with the Roman army may explain how some of the finds reached the site, while the effects of the Boudican revolt may also be detected in the pre-Flavian date of much of the metalwork and, to a certain extent, the pottery.
