PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT AT LATTON LANDS 
ditched trackway seemed to define the edge of the 
medieval ridge and furrow. To the west of the 
trackway was a stone lined culvert. These features 
seem to represent continuation of agricultural 
activity in the area related to the settlement at 
Latton. The fact that the trackway seemed to define 
the limit of the ridge and furrow may indicate that 
it followed the line of an earlier route present 
during medieval times. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
Oxford Archaeology is grateful to Cotswold 
Aggregates, who funded the archaeological 
investigations, analysis and publication and 
facilitated access, and to John Wheeler and Andrew 
Liddle for their co-operation and help on site. 
Elizabeth Huckerby would like to thank the 
Department of Biology, University of Lancaster for 
the use of laboratory facilities. Thanks are also due 
to the OA staff for their hard work during the 
excavations including Jim Mumford who 
supervised the watching brief phase of the work. 
The authors are grateful to all their colleagues at 
OA, particularly Gill Hey who managed the 
excavations and Jane Timby who oversaw the post- 
excavation phase of the work. Alistair Barclay read 
and commented on the final draft of the text, Matt 
Bradley helped out with the digital plans, Dana 
Challinor oversaw the environmental processing 
and Claire Sampson processed the environmental 
samples. The authors would particularly like to 
thank Amy Tucker and Lucy Martin for preparing
