Archaeologists working at the Delhi surface mine in Northumberland, England have unearthed the remains of at least 50 Iron Age houses, making the project one of the largest in northeast England's archaeological history.

From the article:

Northumberland County Council archaeologist Nick Best said: “The relatively undisturbed nature of the site makes interpretation of what we’ve found there much easier, and being able to examine and record it all in such detail over many months has enabled us to gather a great deal of useful information on how people lived around 2,500 years ago.
