Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land in the village of Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire. In the recent past the site has largely comprised hard standing yard areas and associated ancillary buildings. A total of eight trenches were excavated indicating a very different earlier landscape. The main phase of former activity dates to the medieval period with further evidence of post-medieval utilisation of the site. A concentration of early medieval pitting to the north-west, north-east and south-east of the study area indicates possible backyard dumping of occupational debris. This is likely to have occurred from buildings forming a settlement focus around the area of the church. Further to the south and south-west evidence of alluvial deposits indicates that the current western boundary of the site could formerly have taken the form of a not insignificant watercourse with marginal marshland. Post-medieval dumping into earlier features and over marginal land indicates later management of the study area possibly to allow for more intensive farming practices. Aditional undated features include a potentially earlier ditch to the north-west of the site with an alluvial fill similar to the palaeochannel clays encountered to the south and south west. The archaeological evidence from the investigations has the potential to fit into wider research objectives concerned with medieval rural settlement and surviving paleo-economic and palaeo-environmental remains.
