Résumé
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on land off Gaul Road, March, Cambridgeshire in January and February 2014. The work was carried out in advance of a small housing development. Excavations over an area measuring 1500 m2 revealed a number of pits; the majority of which were clustered in three distinct groups. One of the pits contained a large assemblage of Early Neolithic artefacts, whilst the remaining features were largely sterile of material culture, however they all arguably date to the Early Neolithic. The site seems to be located in the periphery of more extensive Early Neolithic settlement and may represent associated practices perhaps specific to their hinterland location. Some of the pits may also demonstrate pit digging practice atypical of the Early Neolithic in the region.
