Misc. Earthwork in Cambridgeshire

As this site is on school grounds it cannot be accessed.

A series of Iron Age ditches all following a north-north-east to south-south-west orientation were excavated in 2009. It is suggested these may form a drove way and may have some connection to the nearby Mile Ditches.
