Iron Age and Medieval Activity at Neale Wade Community College, March

Between 25th and 30th October 2009, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation at Neale Wade Community College, March. This revealed several Iron Age ditches, containing pottery of the 5th -3rd centuries BC, which may represent the remains of a wider, inhabited field system. In addition several Medieval ditches were recorded. Three of these were parallel and may have divided the area into plots. A single very large ditch containing a significant amount of Medieval pottery and domestic waste appears to represent a major boundary, and could potentially be related to a Manor or Religious House.
