Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic site Cambria Farm is the site of a Bronze, Iron Age, Roman rural settlement, between Ruishton and Taunton, Somerset, England.
A survey of the site was carried by Context One in 2007 out prior to the construction of a Park and ride close to Junction 25 of the M5 motorway.[1] In early 2009 further exploration and excavation was carried out. It uncovered Bronze Age burnt mounds,[2] Middle Bronze Age and Late Iron Age roundhouses, and a field system established in the late Iron Age that remained in use until the 3rd or 4th century AD.[3]
The evidence of human occupation was dated as between 1500 BC to 400 AD.[4] The buildings included three possible rectilinear post-built structures and at least five roundhouses, one of which was Шаблон:Convert in diameter. A Roman field system and small inhumation cemetery containing 30 burials dating from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD was also discovered.[5]
Finds from the site include a pair of iron shears, iron spear tips, animal bones, flint tools, loom weights, Iron Age and Roman brooches and Roman coins. They will be displayed in the Museum of Somerset.[6] Examples of Glastonbury type pottery,[7] and three Iron Age spearheads were also found.[8]
