Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper outlines and discusses the Later Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman archaeology identified during excavations carried out in 2015 and 2016 at Downham Road, Ely, prior to the construction of East Cambridgeshire Leisure Village. A scatter of pits together with a modest but coherent artefact assemblage provides ephemeral evidence of settlement activity during the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, whilst Middle Iron Age pit wells provide evidence of primarily pastoral activity, taking place on the periphery of the extensive settlement complexes known in the area. Pollen and plant remains from Middle Iron Age features as well as the accumulation of alluvium and colluvium attest to the surrounding environment, land-use and its impact on the landscape. Downham Road is one of numerous sites to be excavated on the Isle of Ely in recent years. Cumulatively these sites provide evidence to re-address the former island’s prehistoric sequence. Finally, a network of field boundaries and planting beds seen across site, attest to arable use during the Roman period. | |||||||||||||
