An Archaeological Excavation at Tanholt Farm, Eyebury Quarry, Eye, Peterborough. Phase One

An archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of the proposed extension to Eyeburry Quarry at Tanholt Farm, Peterborough (centred TF 243 024). Four haul roads and a large open area were excavated, all of which contained archaeological features. Most of the features were dated to the Bronze Age or Romano-British periods. The excavation primarily revealed an enclosed field system and the fringes of a Bronze Age settlement probably outside the catchment of this phase of work. The Romano-British phase was characterised by a series of enclosed field systems probably associated with the villa/farmstead within the Archaeological Conservation Zone
