Abstract: |
In March 2006 Archaeological services and Consultancy Ltd carried out an evaluation on the proposed route of a water pipeline. A total of 1.8 linear kilometres of trenching were excavated. Ditches and pits/postholes containing early Romano-British pot sherds were discovered in trenches 12, 13 and 16, located at the centre of the site of the disused Witchford Airfield. The discoveries confirm that Romano-British ditches of a low status rural settlement, located by earlier archaeological work during the construction of Lancaster Way Business Park, extend east and southeast into the airfield. Recovery of mid Iron Age and late Iron Age pot sherds indicate that continuity of settlement may have occurred. |
