Abstract:		 Between August 2003 and February 2004 Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an evaluation followed by open area excavation and further trenches on 0.8ha of development land at Brown''s Yard, Burwell, on a plot of land at the corner of North Street and Wharf Lane. A series of parallel boundary ditches had its origins in the 12th-13th centuries AD. The archaeological evidence would suggest a progressive encroachment from the street frontage to the west. At the street frontage, there were two possible timber-framed buildings defined by narrow slots and postholes, which were possibly of medieval date, and certainly pre-dated the 17th century stone-built cottages that occupied the frontage until recently. Other features comprised inter-cutting pits and linear ditches dating from the late 12th to mid 16th-17th centuries. One of the post-medieval ditches appears to correspond to a ditch seen on 19th century maps. The archaeology on the site had been heavily truncated by modern disturbance in the form of rubbish pits, sunken fuel tanks and building foundations, most noticeable close to the frontage.
