Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Mills Lane, Longstanton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4030 6607) between the 8th and the 10th June 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by Resolute Estates Ltd in support of a planning application for the construction of 10 residential dwellings with associated access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation identified a number of ditches, many of which probably had their origins in the medieval period and continued in use through the post-medieval period. St. Michaels Lane to the south-east (and possibly Mills Lane to the north-west) is likely to have been present in the medieval period and the ditches aligned perpendicular and parallel to these roads are thought to represent medieval plot divisions. A concentration of heavily truncated pits dating from the 12th-15th century A.D in the western half of the site and two postholes in the eastern half indicate settlement activity nearby. The remains of a series of house platforms, terraced ditches and leats relating to the shrunken medieval village lie to the south-east of All Saint's Church, in the fields north of Mills Lane. The medieval activity seen in this evaluation may be related to this medieval settlement, which explains why no later post-medieval activity was present on the site.
