Archaeological excavations at Glinton revealed significant remains dating to the Early and Middle Iron Age, offering new insights into the character of occupation in the vicinity. The site lies on relatively high ground, inland from the Welland Valley and at some distance from the well-studied environs of the lower Nene Valley and the Flag Fen Basin. Early Iron Age settlement comprised unenclosed pits and postholes, two identifiable structures and large waterholes that yielded substantial assemblages of pottery and animal bone. In the Middle Iron Age a long boundary ditch was supplemented by a small enclosure of domestic or agricultural function. This paper considers the extent to which the new findings are characteristic of settlement in the wider Peterborough region.
