Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to the Peterborough Gas Compressor Station, Glinton. The investigated area of 5.3ha lay in the southern part of a field bounded by the Gas Compressor Station to the west, the access road to the south and Gasworks Road to the east. A geophysical survey undertaken prior to the evaluation identified several linear and discrete anomalies. A total of twelve evaluation trenches were opened. Features dating predominantly to the Early to Middle Iron Age were uncovered at the north of the site, where linear anomalies proved to be enclosure ditches and a large discrete anomaly to the south may have been a waterhole. This feature, along with the recovery of charred wheat and barley grains and animal bone may indicate a pastoral economy on the site at this time. A single piece of smithing slag recovered from the base of the waterhole as well as two fragments of human bone may be indicative of more complex activities taking place in the area. A later settlement, dating to the Middle to Late Roman period, was uncovered at the south of the proposed development area. Two of these ditches may relate to a sub-rectangular enclosure known from aerial photographs. Boundary ditches, dating to the medieval period or later, were uncovered, whilst two modern pits were uncovered in. Linear anomalies identified in Trenches 10 and 11 proved to be post-medieval or modern field drains.
