During a two-week period from 8th February 2005 to the 17th February 2005 a team from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) carried out an archaeological excavation on behalf of the Anthony Byrne Partnership on a development area, immediately north-east of the junction of Parnwell Way and Oxney Road, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (centred on TL 2180/0090). The site was investigated after an initial evaluation by the CAU showed evidence of a Late Bronze Age field system, and Iron Age and Romano-British activity.
