Monument record EXG 109 - Iron Age and post-medieval pits, George Gibson Close

Archaeological excavation identified a series of pits. The earliest pit was dated to the Iron Age and may be associated with the significant Iron Age activity to the east (EXG 082). The remaining pits were spaced in two parallel line 9 metres apart and contained vitrified fuel ash, suggesting they are of post-medieval date. The pits are likely ot have been used for planting trees as part of the landscaping for Exning House. They show good correlation to the tree band planted around Exning House after enclosure in 1812 (S1).
