Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken. Investigations of earthworks to the west of the site and stray finds suggested that Eynesbury may have been the site of an early Roman military camp, cemetery and villa. The medieval town grew up around St Neots priory, originally an offshoot of Eynesbury. In the post-medieval period, St. Neots had several thriving local industries and profited from its convenient location on the Great Ouse River. The site had the potential to reveal well-preserved remains dating principally to the Roman, Saxon and medieval periods. Field evaluation of the site in April 2002 revealed a single undated gully. No evidence of medieval 'back-yard' occupation or any use of the site in earlier periods was identified. [Au(abr)] |
