Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to Hinchingbrooke Constabulary in advance of proposed development. Fourteen trenches, 50m long and one of 25m were excavated. Evaluation revealed a small assemblage of Neolithic flint work, Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery and a range of features dateable to the Iron Age. These pits, postholes and boundary ditches suggest this area is perhaps on the edge of a larger focus of settlement to the west. Later activity is indicated by finds from the Roman and Medieval periods, but these are likely evidence of occupation in the wider environment. Significant truncation was observed in the trenches to the western portion of the development area. |
