Abstract:
Archaeological fieldwork at Enderby and Huncote has recorded two contrasting clayland late Iron Age enclosures. At Enderby (SP 550 999), a cropmark enclosure was excavated in advance of proposed development. The enclosure revealed at least two main phases of occupation, characterised by a pair of differing sized roundhouses enclosed within a large ditch. Evidence for a gated entrance into the enclosure was also revealed. To the west of Forest Road, Huncote (SP 516 985), some 4km to the south-west, a sub-rectangular Iron Age enclosure was located close to the discovery of a late Iron Age linch pin. This was a small farmstead, which was in use during the late Iron Age with possible continuation into the early Roman period. This included two circular buildings and a later series of stock control boundaries within the enclosure. The excavations have enabled comparisons in the chronology, development, trading contacts and economies of these two neighbouring Later Iron Age settlements to be made.
