Abstract: |
Monitoring of pipe-laying between Euston and Brettenham resulted in the sample excavation of a small Roman settlement site which lay between the Rushford Road and the Little Ouse. Evidence was also uncovered of a field system, the settlement appeared to have been moderately wealthy and to have existed between the 2nd and 4th centuries. A burnt flint mound discovered beneath the peat alongside the Little Ouse during monitoring was evidence of prehistoric occupation. Fragmentary remains including both burnt and worked flint were widespread in the adjoining fields and in the open trenches. The monitoring suggested significant deposits were preserved beneath the valley peats. [Au] |
