Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by CAM ARC between 6th May and 9th May 2008 at Hampden House, 21 Temple Close, Huntingdon (TL 2435 7173) prior to redevelopment of the land for residential properties. The work was commissioned by Campbell Buchanan. Due to conditions on site and the presence of hard standing and upstanding walls, it was necessary to make some alterations to the original trenching strategy; a total of 3 trenches were therefore machined in order to fulfil the requirements of the brief. The evaluation revealed surviving archaeological deposits throughout the development area. Evidence for activity from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period was recorded, much of it in the form of boundary or possibly drainage features. A concentration of Roman finds was recorded towards the east of the site. These included a possible beamslot and associated posthole, Roman pottery and a segment of rotary quern stone, located immediately adjacent to a ditch that was thought to represent the northern boundary of a settlement. Further to the west, in Trench 1, a gully found to contain Saxon pottery was recorded. The nature of the finds from this site suggest that it may have been the location of possible Roman industrial activity; given the close proximity of the river and nature of the finds, it is suggested that milling activity may have been taking place on site, or in the immediate vicinity.
