5,000-year-old settlement found

Archaeologists believe that ancient artifacts uncovered at a Cambridge village college are evidence from a 5,000-year-old settlement.

Pits containing neolithic remains of arrowheads, pottery and knives have been found at a site next to the Linton Village College south of Cambridge.

Digs took place ahead of construction of a new special school on the site.

Cambs county council archaeologists believed there had been a settlement at the school after previous surveys.
