Abstract: |
MOLA was commissioned to carry out a detailed magnetometer survey of the 'Hampton Leys' site to the immediate north of Yaxley, Peterborough. The survey detected six distinct archaeological sites, all apparently linked by a linear ditch which extends for more than 1.5km across the survey area. Three of the sites in the west of the survey area comprise groups of probable settlement enclosures. Further east there are a pair roundhouses or small ring ditches, a pair of small enclosures with opposed entrances and a weakly resolved set of rectilinear ditches. The last mentioned site appears to be a continuation of an Iron Age and Roman settlement previously identified through excavations north of The Broadway, Yaxley. Medieval ridge and furrow cultivation was also detected by the survey. |
