Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Birmingham Archaeology in June 2005 at Longstanton, Cambridgeshire NGR TL 3915 6660. The work was commissioned by Bidwells Property Consultants on behalf of The Cambridge Water Company. The development included the construction of a water main extension involving the stripping of topsoil for a pipeline and the excavation of a 0.5m wide pipe trench. Along the pipeline corridor the topsoil was stripped to the upper surface of a layer of alluvium and no archaeological features identified. The pipe trench, however, was excavated through the alluvium to the natural ground surface. Several features with archaeological potential were recorded at this level. Features close to the line of Over Road were primarily linear ditches of probable medieval date which may represent drainage features or boundaries. Other, subtle features were identified in the southwestern spur of the trench comprising three shallow linear gullies, two pits and a post hole. These undated features might be attributed to a different, possibly Iron Age phase of activity in the southern area of the pipe trench.
