Abstract:		 In January 2008, Archaeological Solutions carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Home Farm, Abington Pigotts, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3090 4475). The evaluation was commissioned in advance of works to extend and convert existing agricultural buildings into three dwellings, together with other works (Planning ref. s/1204/05/F). Evidence of Bronze Age activity has been found in the north-west of the parish. A substantial Iron Age settlement, which continued to be occupied during the Roman period, has been investigated in the same area. Abington Pigotts has an abundant evidence of medieval settlement, with five moated sites in the parish. There is evidence that the village shifted in the later medieval period, possibly in conjuction with the Pigott family''s prominence in the village. Home Farm itself lies within a moated enclosure of medieval date. Cartographic sources show that the site has been a farmyard, occupied by various agricultural buildings, since at least 1838. The current barn, cartshed and granary may be of late 17th- early 18th century date. Trenches 2 and 4 traversed the moat. The pottery from the basal fill of the moat is relatively recent (16th - 18th century) and indicates that the moat had been cleared out. Home farmhouse, next to the site and several of the farm buildings were built and modified in the post-medieval period, suggesting possible remains on the site of previous buildings. In the event no features contemporary with the orginal moat or later period of activity were revealed.
