Abstract:		 A series of four archaeological evaluations and one monitoring visit were carried out at locations on the Cambridgeshire County Farms Estate, as part of a project looking at the effects of arable agriculture on archaeological sites. The work had three goals. Firstly to understand how arable farming effects archaeological remains. The second was to assess the success/failure of previous management strategies to lessen the impact of arable farming. The third aim was to record any archaeology that was encountered and add to the understanding of these important sites. The selected sites were Isleham (Moor Farm), Landbeach (Car Dyke Farm), Landbeach (Limes Farm), Swaffham Prior (Gallows Hill) and monitoring work at Wimblington (Stonea Camp). The results of the project varied, with each individual site having differing aims. Arable farming was clearly damaging archaeological remains at Isleham (Moor Farm), however, continuing arable cultivation at Landbeach (Limes Farm) was not damaging archaeology, which was protected by a buffer of older plough soil. The sites which had recently been removed from ploughing regimes (Car Dyke Farm, Gallows Hill and Stonea Camp) had all been protected by reversion to grass. There had, in the case of Car Dyke Farm (Landbeach), been a worrying lowering of the water table, despite grass reversion. [Au(abr)]
