Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development, which lay in an area with a long history of human activity. Prehistoric remains found in the vicinity included Mesolithic and Neolithic axes, Bronze Age flints and ring ditches and possible Iron Age burials. Possible Roman burials were also known within Soham, and a large number of Roman sites, including a probable villa, lay to the east and south east. A concentration of early Anglo-Saxon activity in the area included a number of cemeteries. During the evaluation, linear and curvilinear ditches, pits and post holes dating from the 10th-12th centuries AD were recorded. Two gullies and a large pit containing no dating evidence were also observed, and 19th-20th century rubbish pits and possible post holes were found. The level of the water table restricted the opportunity to recover artefacts from many of the features. [Au(adp)] |
