Abstract: |
Monitoring work was undertaken on the replacement of the perimeter fence at the northern half of Lakenheath airfield. This fence crossed a number of known archaeological sites. Roman ditches were located showing the settlement around the mere. Buried soils were recovered from beneath sand dunes and in addition, a prehistoric waterlogged ditch was located. This site was of high archaeological interest due to the high water table, causing excellent preservation of archaeological levels, and the survival of ancient buried soil horizons intermittently across the site.
