Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to Vicarage Farm Road (formerly Flag Fen Farm). It revealed two zones of archaeological features (pits and postholes) which spanned the Bronze Age. The Beaker (Early Bronze Age) features included an important closed group of domestic Beaker pottery. The later Bronze Age features were associated with field ditches, and fit well within the known landscape of small agricultural fields divided by ditches with associated pits and structures. A well-preserved buried soil horizon and peat within a former fen-edge inlet were also recorded. [Au] |
