Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In 2020 Albion Archaeology excavated 3.1ha of land on the south-east edge of Soham. Evidence for extensive but low level Iron Age activity was revealed, with a large enclosure at the eastern end of the site and a series of enclosures to the west that continued beyond the excavation. There was little evidence of contemporary settlement, and the site appears to have been used in the Iron Age as part of a primarily pastoral landscape, dominated unusually by cattle. Two Iron Age inhumation burials were also uncovered. Further widespread fields/enclosures were identified as being early Roman, but with even less evidence of settlement nearby. The only domestic structures identified during the excavation were two early–middle Anglo-Saxon sunkenfeatured buildings, located at opposite ends of the site to each other. Numerous small pits neighboured the western building, but levels of cultural debris were very low. Later activity on site was restricted primarily to the setting out of post-medieval fields and modern quarrying. | |||||||||||||||||||
