TL 204713. A complex of cropmarks on Ouse gravels was examined, although results were limited by developers requirements that trenches should not exceed 18in depth, and the soil was too acid to preserve bone or metal. Of several presumed barrow-circles (the first cemetery of this type known in the county) the most complex proved to have begun as a stake-circle barrow (Ashbee type B2), with a fine maritime type beaker, amber bead and flint blade in a pit. The area was surrounded by an outer ditch. Later, a new ditch was dug, related to the burial of a primary series urn containing a cremation and the tip of an arrowhead. Several other pits could not be examined. The beaker provides surprising evidence for early settlement of Dutch Beaker people in the Ouse valley and a reminder of early littoral settlements now lost by drowning of the coastline. The rectangular Iron Age enclosure contained two small (c 22ft diameter) huts, other less determinate structures and a little pottery of Belgic type. A pit alignment and a metalled road were also located.

TL 194627. The excavation revealed superimposed and complex drainage-ditch systems dating from 2nd-4th century AD, and two small habitations of humble type of 3rd-4th century probably representing a small farmstead. The site, a scheduled Ancient Monument, was a small part of a 50-acre complex discovered from the air in 1953, now mostly destroyed by gravel-quarrying. On a rectangular compacted gravel floor lay samian and coarse wares, animal bones, roofing tiles and other occupation material; two postholes and scatters of stones suggested a timber-framed building. Another occupation area with similar debris was of irregular shape with three postholes. Material from the ditches suggests a certain amount of EIA occupation, then a gap until late 1st century AD when occupation began again and lasted to at least mid-4th century. An account is given of earlier finds in the St Neots area, eg a Bronze Age burial in a double-ditched barrow, a remnant of ?EIA kiln or oven, and wells containing planks datable by tree-rings to c 230 and c 335 AD respectively. See 70/871 for the Late Saxon settlement here.
Late Saxon Settlements in the St Neots Area: II. Little Paxton

Rapid topsoil stripping for gravel extraction south of Little Paxton in 1961 and 1962 revealed several thousand archaeological features over more than 20 acres. Records were made of a grave, a ring ditch, pits, wells, hearths, ovens, post holes and ditches of various periods, although very few could be excavated before destruction. Part of the area examined in detail revealed at least two phases of Late Saxon occupation, perhaps an agricultural settlement within the berewick of Little Paxton. At one time the area was occupied by a ditched sub-rectangular enclosure, with a double-gated entrance, and containing pits and wells, and perhaps also houses in the unexplored part. A ditch-system probably represented a droveway and field boundaries. At another time in the Late Saxon period part of the area was occupied by a circular palisaded and ditched enclosure. Controlled excavation could not take place before destruction, but much 10th-11th century pottery, almost exclusively St Neots ware, was recovered together with a normal range of stone, metal and bone-work and several wooden objects (see also 70/843 for RB settlement here and summary of other finds from the area).
