Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Between late 2006 and the middle of 2008 archaeological excavation was carried out at ten locations along the 18km route of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway. Monitoring of groundworks was also carried out along the whole length as well as heritage railway recording of the track and at key locations. Archaeological remains were found at seven of the excavation locations as well as in one significant location during the monitoring programme. Three of these sites are dealt with in other publications; the remainder are reported on in this paper. Two sites at Swavesey revealed evidence of Iron Age and Roman activity, extending the known area of occupation on the island at this date down to the fen-edge. The evidence suggests that this was a processing or redistribution location rather than dense settlement. At the Windmill site near Over remains of a similar period were found, but here there was clear evidence of settlement extending from the middle Iron Age through to around AD 70 when it is likely that the settlement focus shifted due to landscape reorganisation. At Arbury evidence was found indicating the presence of a substantial Roman building with finds of pottery, building material and coins. | |||||||||||
