Abstract:		 During October and December 2015, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land north and south of the A6, by Junction 10 of the A14, ahead of the construction of an industrial estate with associated roadways and parking. A total of 55 trenches were excavated, targeted upon the results of a geophysical survey. Of these 55 trenches, 27 contained archaeological features. The remains date from the Bronze Age through to the Romano-British period, with early 20th century activity also present. The earliest feature was a single Early Bronze Age collared urn cremation with low levels of contemporary struck flint recovered from the surrounding trenches. Later Iron Age activity was concentrated across the north and eastern portions of the site. Pits containing pottery and animal bone assemblages were identified. Activity from this period continued in the form of substantial enclosure. The Roman archaeology was dominated by a series of farmstead enclosures. A very large pit (5m wide) containing a substantial assemblage of Roman pottery, vessel glass and metalwork was also identified in this area. The south-eastern extents of the site were taken over by a former early 20th century ironstone quarry, which is known to have had a network of tramways associated with it. The results of the trial trench evaluation have confirmed the presence of archaeological remains across the site, and correlate with the findings from the geophysical survey. A small number of further features were also uncovered which were not identified during the geophysical survey.
