Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation took place on land affected by the development to refurbish Sawston Hall as a hotel. The archaeological remains found within the trenches represented four main periods: Neolithic/Bronze Age, Late Iron Age/early Roman, earlier medieval and late medieval/post-medieval. Upstanding remains from the 1940s wartime occupation of the Hall were also recorded. The prehistoric archaeology was finds related, comprising a relatively large worked and burnt flint assemblage recovered residually within later features. The very late Iron Age and Roman material was found in Trench 4, dated the occupation to a very limited period in the middle of the 1st century AD. The principle prehistoric and early Roman feature recorded was a wide channel, possibly draining from a well or spring. In the area of this channel were two contemporary wells or shafts, a ditch and a post hole. The earlier medieval archaeology consisted of ditches recorded in all four trenches. Little later or post-medieval archaeology was recorded, other than the upper infilling of the moat and of a ditch. [Au(abr)]
