This paper details the excavation of a small rural settlement situated on a clay ridge at Summersfield, Papworth Everard. The ridgeline was first settled during the Iron Age, with the construction of five roundhouses and three enclosures. During the Late Iron Age/early Roman period the settlement developed further with a series of enclosures representing different forms of activity, including habitation, horticulture, crop processing, and the management of livestock. A single burial, that of an adult male buried with a 'sprinkling' of pottery, was encountered during the excavation. Possibly representing two distinct farmsteads, the settlement remains lay either side of a partially metalled routeway. Although this may have branched off the presumed route of Ermine Street, it is possible that this is the Roman road itself. There was a hiatus in activity from the end of the Roman period until the 10th century AD, when settlement to the north of the excavation area, centred on the church of St Peter, encroached into Summersfield. Five separate enclosures and the remains of two structures located on the edge of the settlement were revealed. Discussion focuses on the Iron Age and Roman phases, revealing the character of the later prehistoric and Romano-British settlement on the claylands; this further supports evidence from other recent excavations that have indicated that settlement was not confined to the river terraces. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
