An Investigation of a Late Iron Age Site at Sewell Lane, near Dunstable, Bedfordshire
Diane E Walker
2 - 17
The site of Sewell Lane is a late Belgic settlement site near Dunstable, Bedfordshire. This report deals primarily with the ceramic evidence excavated from one of the ditches located by a resistivity survey. This material was. used to both date the site and explain the nature of the occupation which occurred from the middle of the first century BC until the middle of the first century AD.
Romano-British Occupation on Puddlehill, near Dunstable

18 - 40
The chalk ridge N of Dunstable called Puddlehill, part of the Chiltern Hills, was occupied intermittently by farming communities from the late Neolithic period to the 7th century AD. The successors of the late pre-Roman Iron Age community appear to have continued to live there during the period of the Roman Conquest, and of the construction of Watling Street over the hill, through the area of occupation. A large fire on the summit may have been lit as a beacon to assist surveyors sighting the alignment of the road. Occupation during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD was in two separate areas, in both of which there had been late Iron Age activity, and small dwellings were identified, as well as 'corn-driers', an oven and enclosure ditches. Wheel ruts crossing the hill E-W contained Romano-British debris and 12 coins of the 3rd and 4th centuries. This road may have been an alternative route for the Icknield Way at that period.

41 - 95
A courtyard villa c 68m x 73m was occupied in the 4th century, with possible earlier occupation of the site. Several heated rooms were deliberately demolished, some of them in the 4th century. There was a polychrome mosaic and painted wall plaster. Late alterations included the throwing together of a suite of rooms with tessellated floors to make a barn with a rough flint floor and the dismantling of a sandstone gateway in the courtyard wall to make two small buildings.
