Abstract: |
The pipeline route stretched for 6km from Chatteris to Wimblington. The evaluation determined the presence of increased activity in Trench 13 and funeral pyre activity in Trench 17. The remains dated from the Neolithic/Bronze Age to the Romano-British period, and also to the late or post-medieval periods. The main phase of occupation appeared to have occurred from 3rd century BC to mid 3rd century AD and was centred around Trench 13. Archaeological remains were characterised by enclosures and other boundary ditches in a landscape used primarily for keeping livestock, particularly throughout the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. Artefacts recovered, including loom weight fragments and quern stones, suggested that domestic activities such as weaving and grinding/milling were taking place in the vicinity, although there was no direct evidence for domestic occupation itself.
