Late Iron Age and Roman Activity at Innesfree, Mill lane, Hemingford Grey

On 20th and 21st January 2014, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation at Innesfree, Mill lane, Hemingford Grey. This was in advance of the demolition of a bungalow and the construction of two new detached houses. The evaluation revealed several ditches, along with a pit and a posthole. Pottery recovered from these features showed them to be of Late pre-Roman Iron age and Early Roman date. The quantity and quality of the finds and density of features implies settlement. The features identified almost certainly belong to an extensive cropmark site, present in the field immediately to the east of the current site.
