Abstract:		 Paper on more than fifty burials representing a portion of a late Romano-British cemetery outside the southwest gate of the Roman town of Durobrivae, near Peterborough. Pre-dating the cemetery were parallel ditches demonstrating rural activity (livestock management) during the mid- to late-third century. Towards the end of the third century the land was used for burial. Disturbed inhumations of at least fifty-seven individuals were recorded, of both sexes and all ages. The graves lay on various alignments. Some had been placed in wooden containers and two in stone coffins, with a possible instance of stone-packing. There were two possible cases of decapitation. The burials appeared to be unfurnished, with the exception of a child who was accompanied by copper alloy and ivory armlets, as well as amber and glass beads from a necklace. The cemetery appears to have remained in use throughout the fourth and into the early part of the fifth century. The presence of undated headlands associated with ridge and furrow systems suggests that the site reverted to agricultural use during the medieval to post-medieval periods.
