Hob Uid: 1030950
Location : City of Peterborough Maxey
Grid Ref : TF1280007700
Summary : Cropmark of a Late Iron Age or Roman rectangular enclosure.
More information : (TF 128077 derived from OS 1:10000) The multi-period site at Maxey was discovered by Dr. J.K.St. Joseph from aerial photography (see TF 10 NW 1 for an outline of the main features). Cropmarks at Maxey were plotted in the 1956 RCHME survey of archaeological sites on river gravels. (1) Aerial photographs show a rectangular ditched enclosure partially underlying modern farm buildings (at TF 127076) and two parallel ditches run southwards. These features were thought by Simpson to be part of the system of linear features to the north (SEE TF 10 NW 52) which have been dated by excavation to the Late Iron Age / Roman period. Gravel quarrying took place before this site could be excavated.(2) General Reference. (3)
