Excavations at Street House, Loftus by Andy B on Thursday, 13 October 2011

The excavation at Street House, Loftus, has revealed new insights into both the Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon periods, with the further prospect of tantalising clues about the Romans. All of these discoveries are within 200m of a Neolithic cairn and Bronze Age barrow suggesting that in this one corner of East Cleveland there is evidence for human activity stretching back over 5,000 years.

In excavations between 2005 and 2007 nine circular structures, roundhouses, have been unearthed. The remains of these structures have survived to a remarkable degree, even though they lie just 30cm below the ground.
