Overview

One of two rare notched log ladders found preserved in large square pits at Fenstanton Gravels. The pits may have functioned as wells and possible wood-working areas. They date to the early Iron Age although a mix of stone, bronze and iron tools appear to have been used to craft the ladders ©A14C2H
