Diggers can be seen clearing the old topsoil in preparation for the new housing being built here at Harwell. This used to be the old RAF bomb store.

Towards the Dump
I'm sure this was the old bomb dump at RAF Harwell, it was cleared a few years ago of old waste that had been stored there over the years by Harwell and was forgotten about.

Storage pits
These, it turns out, were storage pits for grain, the Iron Age Britons used to use them, the Romans built over them. At the present time this area is now a construction site, I managed to get these photos before development started.

Roundhouse in the footings
The Roman building was built on top of an old Iron Age roundhouse it seems; the gullies here are where the rain dripped off the thatched roof. At the present time this area is now a construction site, I managed to get these photos before it started.
