Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This DBA is an updated version of assessments carried out by Archaeological Solutions in 2005 and 2007, based on NGR TL 2275 9475, and incorporates a summary of trial trenching carried out in a periods phase in 2007. The new assessment site comprises an 8 acre field, centred on TL 2285 9460 bounding the southern edge of the original evaluation site. The assessment area if located in the fen between a fen ''island'' to the west containing two Bronze Age ring ditches (MCB 8208) and a pot-boiler site, and a ''peninsular'' to the east containing a round barrow (SAM 3393) which leads up to Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement sites c.2.5km to the north. Roman burials were located some 0.75km to the west at Palmer''s Farm. The 2007 evaluation carried out immediately to the north found no archaeological features and one sherd of unstratified Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Beaker pottery. The stratigraphy revealed river flood plain alluvial silt overlying the natural gravel, which in turn was overlain by an old land surface thought to be of Late Neolithic/Bronze Age date. THis in turn was covered by peat layers from wetter conditions capped by topsoil of alluvial site and clay of late prehistoric/early historic date. Oakley Dike bounding the north-east side of the assessment area was cut at an unknown date between the Roman period and the 13th century. The fen was drained and enclosed in the 17th century, providing the rural form and character seen today.
