Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations between 1998 and 2006 revealed significant prehistoric activity at a site off Broadlands, Peterborough, to the north of the well-known Fengate sites. The main period of activity at this site was in the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age and seems to have been primarily agricultural (pastoral) in nature, with features including a stockyard and two water-holes, one containing two preserved log ladders. These features provide evidence of how pastoral activity shifted onto higher ground when the fen edge features of the Fengate area became inundated. A single crouched burial, dating to the early Iron Age and marked by a wooden post, was present. Its location may have been influenced by the presence of a Beaker barrow c. 100m to its north-north-east, and/or by its position between the contemporary agricultural features and the edge of the fen. A middle Bronze Age field system and small-scale late Iron Age to early Romano-British activity were also recorded but are not presented in this article. | |||||||||||||||||
