Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological evaluation comprising a total of 47 trenches on land to the south of Wimpole Hall, in advance of the proposed construction of a new car park (in two phases) with a Visitor Centre, and new paths to the estate grounds. The evaluation revealed a sequence of archaeological remains dating from the Iron Age to the Early Roman period. This activity was concentrated on the high ground in the north-western part of the development area. The site was characteristic of an enclosed farm settlement and the features observed and investigated included ditches, pits and the possible remnants of potential structural remains. Activity on the site was dense and the level of preservation was very good; better even than the remains identified by a preceding geophysical survey. It would appear that the settlement fell out of use by the end of the Early Roman period. However, the recovery of a Late Roman coin from a possible cultivation ditch on the south facing slope to the south of the settlement does indicate that the land was under cultivation until at least the Late Roman period. Subsequently, the only other activity recorded on site was post-medieval coprolite mining on the high ridge running north to south across the site.
