Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping for the construction of carparking spaces at Thunderbird Way, RAF Lakenheath identified four ditches and one pit of mid-late Roman date preserved beneath a former soil horizon. The finds assemblage included several sherds of pottery and a large fragment of puddingstone quern. The features are clearly contemporary with features found in previous monitorings in the street and help to demonstrate the presence of a continous band of Iron Age/Roman settlement and track and field systems, extending for c.1km along the fen edge. |
