Fieldwalking at Knobbs Farm, Somersham, Cambridgeshire. Lafarge-Redland Quarry Development Phases 2-4

Abstract

This fieldwalking project was undertaken by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, on behalf of Lafarge-Redland Aggregates Ltd. The land in the present survey represents Phases 2, 3 and 4 of seven proposed phases of work, due to the planned expansion of the existing quarry. 153 pieces of worked flint, 89 pieces of burnt flint (1274g) and 9 pieces of pottery were recovered. These finds indicate activity spanning millennia, from the Early Neolithic to the Roman period, with a particularly strong Early Bronze Age presence.
