Abstract:		 TL 194627. The excavation revealed superimposed and complex drainage-ditch systems dating from 2nd-4th century AD, and two small habitations of humble type of 3rd-4th century probably representing a small farmstead. The site, a scheduled Ancient Monument, was a small part of a 50-acre complex discovered from the air in 1953, now mostly destroyed by gravel-quarrying. On a rectangular compacted gravel floor lay samian and coarse wares, animal bones, roofing tiles and other occupation material; two postholes and scatters of stones suggested a timber-framed building. Another occupation area with similar debris was of irregular shape with three postholes. Material from the ditches suggests a certain amount of EIA occupation, then a gap until late 1st century AD when occupation began again and lasted to at least mid-4th century. An account is given of earlier finds in the St Neots area, eg a Bronze Age burial in a double-ditched barrow, a remnant of ?EIA kiln or oven, and wells containing planks datable by tree-rings to c 230 and c 335 AD respectively. See 70/871 for the Late Saxon settlement here.
