Abstract:		 Spicers Ltd. were seeking planning permission for the construction of a warehouse and associated loading bays, parking areas and access totalling about 15,000 sq. m at Sawston. Trial trenching comprising nine trenches totalling 720 sq. m was undertaken. A series of ditches were located running approximately north-south across the site which seemed to be part of a medieval and latter pattern of drainage and field boundaries. Whilst it was possible that some of the undated ditches could have been earlier, no prehistoric or Roman pottery was found. In the western part of the site the former course of a meander in the River Cam was found which contained significant palaeo-environmental information for both the medieval colonisation of the area and the earlier Roman and prehistoric settlement. The archaeological remains were considered to be of no more than 'Local Importance'. However, it was suggested that some further investigation of the ditches may provide a better dated sequence and, together with an extensive programme of palaeo-environmental sampling, significant environmental information to assist with better understanding the medieval colonisation of this area and its earlier nearby Roman and prehistoric settlement.
