Alternatively, such superimpositions may simply reflect the continuing utility of slightly raised areas within largely low-lying wetlands. The Bronze Age cremation burial and associated pyre debris in a small pit and segmented gully enclosure at Sutton Common (Van de Noort 2007a), within the area later occupied by the Iron Age enclosed site, could suggest that certain places in the landscape held longer-term significance for prehistoric communities. There is very little evidence for the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age transition in South Yorkshire – no settlements of this date have been identified and only a few artefacts, none from a stratified context. For the transition to Romano-British, please also read the page on Roman South Yorkshire here.
