Wavendon Gate: A Late Iron Age and Roman Settlement in Milton Keynes
The final Milton Keynes monograph publishes an extensive Late Iron Age and Roman settlement. The Roman phase of this complex site includes two First Century BC Pottery kilns, a well furnished cremation cemetery, corn driers and a late Roman waterlogged pit. The pit contained some well-preserved artefacts including a votive `Taranis' wheel; the first wooden representation of this Celtic goddess found in Europe. There were also traces of Early Saxon occupation on the site.
