Abstract:		 September to October 2003. Oxford Archaeology carried out a stage 1 mitigation at the south end of the proposed rowing course sited to the north of Cambridge. The work comprised of twenty one trenches and a detailed geo-archaeological recording of the alluvial sequence in each trench. A pit and a post hole, both containing Bronze Age pottery, were discovered in trench 18, on what would appear to be a raised gravel island towards the north end of the area under investigation. At the southern end, a middle Iron Age pit and two pits of Roman date were recorded in trench 3. Roman activity on the floodplain was represented by a small number of linear ditches and were probably used to drain the area for use as pasture and to define track ways.The palaeo-environmental indicators suggest that the northern half of the area may have existed as a back-swamp, while the southern half was damp grassland or medow. During or shortly after the Roman period fen conditions developed, resulting in the formation of a layer of peat across the entire area. There was no evidence for subsequent human occupation until the post-medieval period.
