Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations were undertaken by MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) on land at Bridge Farm, Shefford, Bedfordshire. The remains of a late Iron Age settlement and field system, comprising at least three enclosures, were uncovered. It is thought that the three enclosures represent different phases of activity, with the latest phase taking place in the late Pre-Roman Iron Age. Probable stock enclosures, routeways, a probable four-post structure, pits and other features were also found. A moderate quantity of artefacts and ecofacts and evidence of small scale metalworking were found. Two east to west aligned inhumation burials were found outside of one of the enclosures and may to date to the Anglo-Saxon period. |
