Abstract: Between June 2008 and May 2008 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological investigation at Huckle Hill, near Elstow, ahead of the Wixams housing development. The site had previously been identified by geophysical surveying and trial trenching Excavation of the site revealed the remains of a low status late Iron Age to late Roman farmstead, which contained linked enclosures, drove-ways, pits, structural features and cremations. Subsequent use of the farm compound in the Saxon period was represented by a number of wells/water pits, whilst a few small Saxo-Norman pits were also revealed. The remains of medieval/post-medieval agriculture were identified across the site.
