Settlement, Comberton 29365_001

Iron Age/Roman settlement in Comberton, Cambridgeshire. The dry summer of 2015 proved an exciting year for cropmark discoveries on the Cambridgeshire claylands. The cropmarks are caused by buried archaeological remains which hold more moisture than the surrounding undisturbed soil. They helped experts to see and appreciate the true extent and complexity of this Iron Age/Roman settlement in Comberton. The cropmarks show tracks leading to ditched enclosures, some with round houses. Double ditched trackways can be seen approaching some of the enclosures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Settlement, Comberton 29365_001" showcases the remarkable discoveries made during the dry summer of 2015 on the Cambridgeshire claylands. The image captures the excitement and significance of cropmark findings, which are caused by buried archaeological remains that retain more moisture than the surrounding soil. In this particular photograph, we witness a fascinating Iron Age/Roman settlement in Comberton, Cambridgeshire. Thanks to these cropmarks, experts were able to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the true extent and complexity of this historical site. The tracks leading to ditched enclosures are clearly visible, some even featuring round houses within them. What makes this discovery even more intriguing is the presence of double ditched trackways approaching certain enclosures. These ancient pathways provide valuable insights into how people moved around and interacted within this settlement centuries ago. Photographer Damian Grady has skillfully captured an aerial view of this archaeological wonder, allowing us to marvel at its intricacies from above. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in uncovering hidden history and our enduring fascination with unraveling mysteries from our past.
