Thousands of years of history were uncovered when excavations started in a village near Stamford last week. Archaeologists spent three days carving trenches out of the landscape to uncover artefacts which dated the site at Northborough to 6,000 years ago. The experts think the site is one of only seven of the same type of Neolithic site in the country.
Time Team researcher Karen Kirk explained they thought the site may have been a meeting place or have a ritual significance. Either way there have been some exciting finds, including a leaf shaped arrow head and a piece of flint. The team also uncovered pottery from 3,500 BC and animal bone with marks on it consistent with them being hit.
