Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on land at Red Brick Farm, Peterborough (TL 219996) between 21st November and 29th November 2017. Ten 50m x 2.1m linear trenches and thirteen 5m x 2.1m test pits were excavated. Archaeological features were identified in trenches in the west third of the site, which was on the river Nene first terrace gravels. Six possible pits were identified, three of which were excavated (trenches 1 and 3) and dated to the Neolithic period. Eight linear features were identified, seven of which were excavated (trenches 1, 4 and 5) which are likely to form part of a Bronze Age enclosure system. The Flag Fen Basin sediment sequence of peats, alluvial silts and buried soil was encountered and recorded across the majority of the site, deepening from west to east. |
