Abstract: |
An open area archaeological excavation was carried out at Gidding Road, Sawtry, ahead of groundworks associated with residential development. This excavation focused upon an area previously identified as containing Romano-British deposits. During the course of the excavation, late Iron Age and early Romano-British drainage features and clay extraction pits were identified. There was no evidence of settlement remains within the area. An isolated Romano-British human burial was uncovered. Two Bronze Age flints and two sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery were retrieved, indicating some limited activity in the area during these periods. Subsoil, modern land drains and modern topsoil formed the latest deposits encountered on site. |
