Abstract:		 Twelve trench archaeological evaluation carried out by PCA on Land at Oakington Road, Cottenham, Cambridgeshire. The archaeological work was commissioned by Persimmon Homes in response to an archaeological brief issued by the Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCCHET). The aim of the work was to characterise the location, date, extent, character, condition and quality of any archaeological remains on the site, to assess the significance of any such remains in a local, regional, or national context, as appropriate, and to assess the potential impact of the development proposals on the site's archaeology. The earliest activity on the site was present to the north-west of the site focused around Trenches 14-18, and consisted of Middle Iron Age and Roman ditches, pits, post-holes, and a kiln. The morphology of the ditches and the presence of pits, post-holes and a large assemblage of pottery and bone are indicative of settlement. A system of north-west to south-east aligned post-medieval furrows was also identified in the eastern part of the site (Trenches 5-7). The ditches located in Trenches 14-18 are associated with a Roman settlement present in the adjoining fields to the north and east of the site located on an area higher ground. The ditches on the site consisted of a variety of boundary, enclosure and drainage ditches and were associated with a large assemblage of finds including Middle Iron Age and Roman pottery, animal bone, worked stone and 'Iron Age Grey'. A Romano-British kiln was identified in Trench 16 which was photographed and recorded then left in-situ. The presence of 'Iron Age Grey' in Ditch [126] identified in Trench 18 could suggest the presence of further, failed, kilns or ovens suggesting an area of potential industry on the periphery of the settlement.
