Land South of Foundry Way, March, Cambridgeshire: An Archaeological Excavation

Abstract

An excavation was undertaken on 0.17 ha of land 2.5km north of March, Cambridgeshire, south of Longhill Road. The site is at a height of between 3.3m and 3.71m OD on the edge of March Island. The excavation followed an initial evaluation in 2003 and was designed to further understanding of the extent, nature and significance of the Romano-British activity that was identified. Evidence for Late Iron Age/ Early Roman activity was identified within two of the three excavation areas in the form of pits, wells/ watering holes, ditches, postholes and artefacts. Background evidence for Neolithic activity was also identified in the form of flint artefacts.
