Abstract: |
A 25 Trench evaluation in the village of Boreham followed by an open area excavation of 2 areas revealed revealed a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age cremation cemetery with 21 unurned cremations. 7 cremations were carbon dated and returned a date between 826 and 889 BCE. A contemporary field system and trackway was recorded which continued in use through the Roman and Saxon periods. Post-medieval and modern field boundaries were on the same alignment. Dispersed pits and ditches of Roman date, a Saxon watering hole and undated pits and ditches were also recorded. There was no evidence for settlement and the finds assemblage was small and abraded. However, it indicates the existence of settlement nearby. |
