Abstract:		 The excavation produced a large density of archaeological material. Fourteen phase groups were identified. By far the greatest part of the archaeology of Cotmist Field belonged to the Saxon and medieval period. A scattering of Neolithic and Bronze Age flintwork attested to earlier prehistoric occupation/use of the area. There were two smaller earlier Neolithic pits but no major settlement unitl the later Iron Age. The Iron Age settlement covered a large area with roundhouses set within deep ditched and banked enclosures. The bulk of the Iron Age, however, was located to the north of West Fen Road. There was continuity between the later Iron Age and the early Roman period with the Romano-British occupation covering a slightly expanded area. Around the edges of this settlement were scattered/isolated Roman burials and cremations. [AIP]
