Abstract:		 Birmingham Archaeology was commissioned by West Longstanton Limited to undertake a programme of excavation in advance of the construction of a bypass located to the west and north of Longstanton, Cambridgeshire, Planning Application Number S/0682/95/0). The route of the bypass was previously the subject of a desk based assessment, fieldwalking and geophysical survey. The geophysical survey identified a possible enclosure ditch which was confirmed by trial trenching. The trial trenching also identified two further areas which were subject to full open area excavation. A total of three open areas were excavated along the route of the bypass between January and March 2007 which revealed archaeological features mostly dating to the Neolithic and Iron Age periods. Neolithic features were excavated within two areas (7 and 8), which for the most part were in the form of discreet pits, postholes and gullies. Iron Age activity was mostly associated with a single enclosure (Area 6). Several almost whole pots were found within an enclosure ditch and could be the result of deliberate deposition, and the large collection of burnt clay found within a small internal gully, also appeared to have been deposited in one deliberate event.
