Abstract
This report documents the excavation of the last two sites to be investigated within the first phase of work at of Hanson's Needingworth/Over quarry. Discovered through evaluation fieldwork in 1996 on the floodplain terraces across the east side of the River Great Ouse below Over and above its junction with the fenland at Earith. The sites involved includes a later Bronze Age paddock system and settlement complex (Site 5) and, 150m to the east, a ring- ditch complex and later Neolithic and Bronze Age terrace-edge occupation (Site 6). Situated on marked local rises at between 1.50-2.00m OD, both lie on the so-entitled Church's Rise terrace
