Abstract:		 An 'L-shaped' trench measuring 22 square metres in area was excavated at 208 Green End Road, Chesterton, Cambridge, between the 6th and 7th of September 2011. This revealed that the site had previously been subject to intensive gravel quarrying activity. Although no earlier, pre-quarry features had survived, two distinct types of quarry pit were identified. The first of these consisted of a series of haphazardly arranged sub-oval features, one of which contained abraded sherds of Medieval pottery. Subsequently, however, during the Post-Medieval period, the site became the focus of more intensive 'strip-type' extraction techniques. A minimum of sixteen linear quarries were inserted, all of which were aligned northeast to southwest. Between them, these features removed almost all of the remaining natural gravel. Finally, a number of additional features relating to the most recent phase in the site's usage were also present. These included a sub-rectangular pit, a rubble-filled soakaway and a lead water pipe that were all associated with the construction of a nearby bungalow in the mid 20th century. In addition, the topography of the area suggests that a program of landscaping/terracing may also have been undertaken at this time.
