Abstract:
Four areas of the site were evaluated: Graves' Field, The Undertakers, Webster's Field and the IWM Park. In The Undertakers, post holes and pits were identified, relating to a small Late Bronze Age settlement located on an area that would have formed a peninsula of dry land extending into the fen. In Graves' Field, a Roman ditch was excavated, possibly the continuation of a droveway. Webster's field, bounded on one side by the Car Dyke, contained a Roman double-ditched droveway, 3 other Roman and several undated postholes. In the IWM Park, late 3rd/4th century occupation deposits, including a midden and traces of structures, were recorded overlying earlier Roman ditches. One ditch was of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date. A fourth century temple, now lost to quarrying, formerly stood just beyond the evaluation area; except for a single undated cremation, no associated features were identified within 120m of it, suggesting that the area surrounding the temple was deliberately avoided by Roman settlement and cultivation.
