Abstract:		 From April to June 2016, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological excavation on in advance of the construction erection of four detached dwellings on Land to the Rear of 32 and 34 Church Lane, Isleham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 64349 74689) The excavation revealed a multi-phase fen edge peripheral settlement activity dating from the late prehistoric through to the early modern. Parts of the site revealed a large quantity of Roman activity on the site which has, prior to this excavation, been scarce in the vicinity of the village of Isleham. The site has the chance to enhance current understanding of settlement activity at Isleham during the early Romano-British period. When viewed in context with its contemporary human landscape, the site can also help to refine current understanding of the agricultural and economic setting of Isleham at this time. The site revealed seven phases of occupation with the majority of site activity taking place in the Romano-British period before activity ceases until the later medieval and post-medieval periods where Isleham begins to expand and the village development begins to encroach on the fen environment. The site appears to have been an area of agricultural land on the periphery of settlement. Its topographical setting, on low-lying ground sloping off towards the former fen environment in the north and North West suggests that this could have been an area used for damp grazing for cattle and also for the disposal of domestic waste at the edge of the habitable area of settlement.
