Abstract:		 The findings are outlined from the excavation of a later Bronze Age settlement located well 'inland' '“ respectively, 5 and 7km away from the Ouse and Cam River Valleys, and 6km back from the fen-edge '“ at Longstanton, where it straddled the flanks of a gravel ridge running across the Cambridgeshire clay plain. While the site offers few major insights concerning the period's settlement generally, it nevertheless reflects upon a number of crucial themes: the nature/chronology of 'heavy land' colonisation and when its pioneering occurred, the key role of water provisioning and, due to localised depositional survival, middening dynamics. As regards the latter, the site generated one of the region's largest later Bronze Age ceramic assemblages and, through waterlogged preservation of its deep-cut pit-wells, yielded an important group of wooden artefacts and other finds.
