Abstract:		 Between August and September 2006 excavations were carried out on land at Millstone Lane, Barnack in advance of the proposed residential redevelopment of the site by the Burghley House Preservation Trust. During the medieval period Barnack was a centre for quarrying activity. The stone quarried was used in building Peterborough, Ely and Bury St Edmunds cathedrals amongst others. The excavation carried out by OA East confirmed the presence of a large stone built structure and uncovered much of its ground plan. The work also demonstrated that the building went through at least two phases of use, marked by a period of re-modelling and alteration to the building. The exact function of the building was not clear. There was, however, at least some evidence for domestic use in the form of a large hearth, as well as possible industrial use as demonstrated by presence of a large and solidly floored yard into which a substantial stone drain had been built. Into addition to this there was evidence that the site had been subjected to significant quarrying activity both before the construction of the building and after its demolition. The datable pottery recovered from the excavation revealed that the site and / or its immediate surroundings was in use from the Anglo Saxon period through to the early modern period, with the peak of use being between the 13th and 16th centuries.
