Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment of the site showed that although there had been activity on the parish site since Mesolithic times, occupation had been confined to the fenlands, in the west of the parish, until the Iron Age. The site itself lay on a Lower Greensand ridge, elevated above the fens. Settlement was known here from the Late Iron Age period and a Roman presence was also well attested. Early Anglo-Saxon burials had been located within the village of Haddenham, but as yet no settlement had been located. The modern village had its roots in the three manors, present at the time of the Domesday Survey and which had probably existed for some considerable time beforehand. An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of ten trial trenches, revealed a number of features (principally ditches) and associated finds dating to the Roman period. [Au(adp)] |
