Excavations at two sites in the southern suburbs of the modern
industrial town of Scunthorpe, originally a rural landscape with a
scatter of villages overlooking the River Trent and its tributary,
Bottesford Beck. Finds of flint tools show that humans had been
around throughout prehistory; by the late Iron Age the Burringham
Road site probably lay at the southern limit of a settlement, and
for much of the Roman period there is evidence of various
activities, mostly agriculture-related, and including several
corn-driers; perhaps there was a villa nearby. The Baldwin Avenue
site shows evidence of a Middle Saxon settlement with notable
artefacts being three large lead vessels of a type that seems
peculiar to the region. The title of the report reflects the fact
that these two sites are peripheral to larger complexes, but
nevertheless provide good information about them.~
