Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations by Albion Archaeology in advance of development at Land east of Glebe Farm, Gidding Road, Sawtry, revealed settlement remains dating from the middle–late Iron Age to the Romano-British period. The earliest remains comprised a ladder enclosure, characterised by an extensive linear boundary with a series of large enclosures extending from its south-east side. Smaller internal enclosures and a roundhouse formed a settlement focus within the larger enclosure system. Occupation continued through the late Iron Age/early Romano-British period with the settlement focus shifting to the south-west. The remains comprised a large enclosure with smaller internal enclosures, partitions, storage pits and postholes. Evidence for Romano-British activity was largely confined to the south part of the site with abandonment of the earlier settlement by the end of the 1st century AD. The most prominent features were a re-cut boundary and possible trackway aligned NW-SE across the south end of the site. Beyond the boundary, partially revealed rectilinear enclosures suggested the settlement continued beyond the limits of excavation to the south. A limestone threshing floor within a shallow pit is indicative of crop processing during the Romano-British period. | ||||||||||||||||||
