Rare Iron Age settlement is about to be unearthed by coldrum on Tuesday, 16 January 2007

Archaeologists will soon be uncovering a rare Iron Age settlement in a North Somerset village.

The ancient site at Goblin Combe Environmental Centre in Cleeve is the only known Iron Age settlement in Britain not to have been dug up.

The trees and plants currently covering the site will be cleared this winter in preparation for a team of archaeologists to study the site in detail.

A group of 45 pupils from Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College in Weston started the work this week by helping clear some trees.

Centre manager Kenton Keys said: "We took over the site in 2003 as a trust and before that time there was no management plan in place and very little thought had been put in on how to deal with the site.
