Abstract:		 Cemetery Development Services Limited was gathering information in support of a planning application for a proposed new crematorium and cemetery. The Cambridgeshire HET advised the applicant to carry out an archaeological evaluation of the site. The evaluation revealed two separate field systems, the most striking feature of which was an array of linear features interpreted as bedding trenches. The scarcity of artefacts from the site as a whole makes accurate dating problematic; however, stratigraphic relationships between features identified as different phases of field system allow us to at least suggest a relative chronology, with the potentially Roman bedding trenches pre-dating the medieval / post-medieval field system. The larger field ditches identified were generally on the same alignment as either the medieval ridge and furrow or the earlier bedding trenches. The shallow undated ditches identified on a varying alignment to the two main field systems have been interpreted as likely agricultural in origin. The archaeological features identified by the evaluation provide information on the changing nature of the agricultural landscape from the Roman to the post-medieval period. Chronologies showing change and continuity in the agricultural landscape have been highlighted as research themes for East Anglia, as has the type of organised agricultural practice represented by the Roman bedding trenches - evidence for the impact of Romanisation in this region. The almost complete absence of artefactual evidence suggests that the PDA was never a focus of settlement and has always been used for agriculture.
