Abstract:		 Between 14th and 22nd August 2017, Oxford Archaeology East (OAE) carried out an excavation on land south of Walden Road, Great Chesterford, Essex (TL 5127 4278). A small area measuring 30x30m was opened, targeting features found during the previous evaluation works. A pair of roadside ditches on a west-north-west to east-south-east alignment were uncovered, along with boundary ditches relating to a field system extending to the south of the site. A small cremation cemetery of six individuals and one infant burial were located adjacent to the southern roadside ditch, dating to the Middle Roman period. A total of 9862g of Roman pottery was recovered from the features on site, including a number of complete or near-complete vessels from the cremation burials. Ceramic building material (619g), animal bone (2.6kg) along with an Iron Age and two Roman coins were also recovered from the excavation. Environmental results were relatively sparse, although indicated spelt and barley were grown in the vicinity. The route of the road can be followed from the Roman Small Town of Great Chesterford, to the west-north-west of the site, running towards Radwinter, located to the east-south-east, a Roman roadside settlement.
