Abstract: |
Between 25th June and 9th August 2018 Oxford Archaeology East (OA East) carried out a series of open-area excavations at the former Perkins Engines Site, Newark Road, Fengate, Peterborough (TF 2138 0030). Three areas of excavation were exposed (Areas A-C) totalling just over 0.8ha. The excavation revealed a series of ditches broadly aligned north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east. These form components of a rectilinear Bronze Age field system incorporating a sub-square enclosure in Area C measuring c. 40m by 40m. The ditches and boundaries belong to a wider field system that extends across the Fengate area. A scatter of pits and postholes was also revealed. A small assemblage of prehistoric finds was recovered from the excavations, dating from the Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic to Early Iron Age periods. These include worked flint, pottery and animal bone, mostly deriving from pits and ditches associated with the field system. The pottery and animal bone are highly fragmented, and environmental remains were poorly preserved. Later finds were restricted to two sherds of Roman pottery and a post-medieval button. |
