Abstract: |
In July 2009, an archaeological excavation was conducted by Northamptonshire Archaeology in advance of a water mains replacement between Sapley and Sawtry, at Alconbury Hill, Cambridgeshire. The investigation targeted the site of a late Iron Age and Roman settlement that had been identified by trial trench excavation. The excavated evidence comprised a large enclosure ditch, with a possible return or internal division to the south, several smaller ditches and gullies, and four small pits. Pottery from the features dated from the 1st century BC to the late 2nd century AD. Ridge and furrow cultivation remains were also identified. |
