Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was conducted in advance of the construction of a section of the Anglian Water Services mains replacement between Sapley to Sawtry, near Alconbury Hill, Cambridgeshire. The investigation targeted the site of a late Iron Age and Roman settlement that had been identified by an earlier evaluation. Within the bounds of the pipeline corridor, the settlement comprised a large enclosure ditch, with a possible return or internal division to the south, several smaller ditches and gullies, and four small pits. Pottery from the features dated from the 1st century BC to the late 2nd century AD. Later features included two post-medieval or modern agricultural features, which extended down the length of the site, and a number of modern land drains. |
