The widening of the road between the Monkton and Mount Pleasant
roundabouts on the A253 led to the archaeological investigation of
a 3km long strip of land between July 1994 and February 1995.
Prehistoric discoveries included Neolithic inhumations and pits,
well-preserved Beaker graves and ten ring-ditches of late Neolithic
and Bronze Age date. An extensive and unusual Roman settlement of
the late first to early second century AD was characterised by a
large number of sunken-floored buildings. A small rectangular
structure on the fringes of the settlement may have been a roadside
shrine. A small Anglo-Saxon cemetery was located at the eastern end
of the excavated area and at the western end a medieval farmstead
with at least five buildings was investigated. The information is
presented in four parts covering the main periods of occupation of
the site and each chapter includes specialist reports on pottery,
small finds, human and animal bones and the plant and insect
remains.
