Prehistoric in settlement of uncovered:

An unknown prehistoric settlement has been revealed during archaeological work in East Taunton,
The dig was commissioned by Somerset County Council before construction begins on the Park and Ride scheme for the Cambria Farm site .
The remains of a prehistoric farm and surrounding fields reveal human occupation from the late Bronze Age to the Roman period (1000 BC to 400 AD).
Prehistoric archaeology is the study of the past before historical records began.
Prehistoric archaeology is one of those chewy definitions that not everybody agrees on. Mostly, as compared to historical archaeology, prehistoric archaeology refers to the archaeological remains of cultures that are primarily pre-urban and so, by definition don’t have contemporary economic and social records that can be consulted. The time depth varies across the planet; and some archaeologists consider any culture untouched by European colonization as prehistoric–but in a good way.
Councillor Justin Robinson said: “This is a fascinating piece of Taunton’s prehistoric heritage that provides us with a glimpse of everyday life during the Iron Age and helps to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of Somerset’s rural past.”
