Abstract: |
The latest phase of mitigation within the Wintringham Park development, St Neots, involved the excavation of 2ha of farmland. This revealed Middle and Late Iron Age remains in the form of three roundhouses, two of which were enclosed by impressively large ditches, one of which had a depth of 1.2m with near vertical sides and a V-shaped profile. A ditched field system was also recorded within the area that was identified to the north during previous excavations by OA East at Loves Farm. One of the most interesting features excavated was a large watering hole, cutting the corner of a Middle Iron Age enclosure, which contained over 1kg of Middle Iron Age pottery and approximately 3kg of animal bone. Roman activity in the form of a rectilinear field system was identified in the eastern half of the area, while medieval furrows along with a hollow way were also recorded. |
