Abstract: |
Between 18th February and 26th April 2019, Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological excavation at the former CEMEX Cement Works, Haslingfield Road, Barrington. The excavations revealed a small rural settlement, occupied for a relatively brief duration from around the end of Later Iron Age into the early Late Iron Age. A Late Iron Age rectilinear field-system was associated with settlement features including pits and four-post structures. Three grain storage pits showed evidence of placed animal bone deposits. Signs of Later Iron Age activity pre-dating the field system were found towards the centre and south of Area A, including remains of a small circular post-built structure, a probable dwelling. |
