Abstract: |
The fourth stage of investigations at Little Paxton Quarry, Diddington identified five phases of activity, dating from the Neolithic/Bronze Age to the medieval period. The earliest activity comprised scattered pits and flint scatters of the Neolithic to Bronze Age. Phase 2 was early Middle Iron Age eaves-drip gullies surrounding circular huts, later Middle Iron Age activity was represented by a cluster of ditched farmsteads. The earliest Late Iron Age (Phase 3) features comprised a group of ditched enclosures scattered more widely across the excavated area. Early Romano-British settlement was also identified but the site was abandoned by the mid-2nd century, possibly because of a rising water-table. Medieval drainage ditches were the latest activity recognised, (Phase 5). [Au(abr)] |
