Abstract:		 During August and September 2000 and between August 2006 and December 2007, Archaeological Solutions conducted two open area excavations on land south of Tunbridge Hall, Tunbridge Lane, Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, in advance of residential development. A trial trench evaluation (2003) had indicated the high potential of the site for Roman remains, including the possibility of a villa complex. The excavations identified four phases of Roman activity. The earliest Roman remains comprised two stone buildings, which were partially revealed at the south-western edge of the site, and smaller, possibly wooden structure. These appear to have been agricultural buildings rather than parts of the conjectured villa. During Phase 2, the site was divided into ditched enclosures. A malting oven/corn drier and a second, smaller oven, were also in use. In Phase 3 (, the boundaries on site were reorganised; several new enclosures were established, including a large rectangular field/paddock with a small ?timber building in its centre. An industrial feature in Area 2 has been tentatively associated with brewing. During Phase 4 (4th century AD), land use on the site changed, with several large chalk quarry pits and numerous scattered rubbish pits. The finds from the site suggest that it lay adjacent to areas of occupation during all four phases. Over and above providing further information about the settlement pattern in this part of Cambridgeshire and some interesting observations regarding possible agricultural specialisms, this site is notable as it demonstrates the distinct possibility that Bottisham was the site of a Roman villa complex.
