Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation on Land at Bartlow Road, Linton, Cambridgeshire. Twenty-one evaluation trenches were excavated across the site, which encompassed two fields located on the eastern edge of the village of Linton. A detailed magnetometer survey of the site was carried out by Bartlett-Clark Consultancy in advance of the evaluation. This survey was found to provide an accurate prediction of the below ground features that were subsequently encountered on site during the evaluation. Interpretation of these features has been refined and altered by the results of the targeted evaluation trenches. The linear and discrete archaeological anomalies in the southern field were found to be ditched boundaries and pits/quarries of mostly medieval origin, possibly associated with a former trackway that once linked the villages of Bartlow and Linton. Of particular note was the discovery of an Early Saxon sunken floored building with other possibly associated features, including a pit and postholes, that were revealed in the north-west part of the southern field close to Bartlow Road. A moderate finds assemblage, including Saxon and medieval pottery, animal bone, CBM and quernstone fragments was recovered, while environmental samples indicate that there is excellent potential for the recovery of charred and mineralised plant and insect remains from Saxon and medieval deposits. Despite the proximity of Linton Roman villa and walled cemetery to the south and a Saxon inhumation cemetery to the north, the evaluation of the site has indicated that no archaeological features directly relating to these monuments are present on this site. However, a background scatter of ceramic building material of Roman date was found across the southern field that probably derived from the villa. The flint assemblage provides further evidence of activity along the River Granta in the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods.
