Abstract: |
During 2005 and early 2006 a multi-stage programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by CAM ARC (formerly AFU) on land to the south of Peterborough, Stanground, and to the southwest of Whittlesey in advance of the construction of a new Anglian Water Reinforcement Main. Evaluation had identified one area for excavation at Horsey Hill and another was discovered during monitoring of the pipeline easement in an area close to Farcet Road, Farcet. The site at Farcet Road consisted of Iron Age settlement, Roman field boundaries and trackway ditches. These remains included two Iron Age roundhouses, numerous postholes, several pits and a hearth. To the south of Horsey Hill Fort , a predominately Roman and Anglo-Saxon site had been identified during evaluation trenching along the route. The major features were dated to the Roman or Saxon periods, including several ditches forming a rectangular enclosure with an entrance to the northeast. |
