Abstract:		 During the medieval period the site was within the lay settlement of Barnwell Priory, whose precinct wall was opposite the excavation on the northern side of Newmarket Road. The excavation found occupation dating from c.AD 1200 to the modern day with a short period of abandonment from c.1550/1600 to c.1650. The excavation itself probably took place in parts of up to three former house plots. The westernmost plot presumably fronted onto Coldhams Lane, although up to c. AD 1400 there was no evidence of houses fronted onto this road as large pits were found near the frontage. In the high medieval period (c. AD 1200-1400), up to six wells (with perhaps as many as four in use at any one time) and over 30 pits of various sizes and types (and two which had been clay lined). Several of these features contained moderate to large quantities of artefacts and ecofacts with good survival in waterlogged deposits from two wells. After a period of abandonment when the site may have reverted to pastoral farming, the site was reoccupied in c. AD 1650, although occupational evidence initially comprised layers with only small quantities of artefacts/ecofacts from them. There were only a few 18th century features found within the site, but included several post holes from probable houses fronting Coldhams Lane. From the late 18th century/c. AD 1800 there was a large increase in the quantity of features. This corresponds with the cartographic and documentary evidence which records the site owned by three people/organisations with the site comprising houses including cottages of poor houses/workhouses with the latter belonging to the parish of St Andrew The Less. Over this 200 year period to the present day the site was continually rebuilt on with former properties only standing for relatively small time periods before being replaced.
