Full Description

February 1998: Monitoring of pipe-laying between Euston and Brettenham uncovered a burnt flint mound beneath the peat alongside the Little Ouse during monitoring which is evidence of prehistoric occupation. Fragmentary remains including both burnt, and worked flint were widespread in the adjoining fields and in the open trenches. The monitoring suggest significant prehistoric deposits are preserved beneath the valley peats. Details in (S1).
