| Abstract: |
The observation and recording of topsoil stripping and evaluation of land in Shepreth parish was undertaken. Six trenches were machine excavated and cleaned by hand. The trenches revealed mainly linear features. Several contained material of probable Iron Age/Romano-British date. Other features appeared to be either geological or post-medieval. The absence of medieval or post-medieval material suggested that theland was not close enough to a contemporary settlement for manuring to have occured or else the ground was unsuitable for arable agriculture. This was borne out by the 19th century Tithe and Enclosure Maps which showed part of the site as a meadow. [Au] |
