Abstract:		 Between the 9th and 13th October 2017 Oxford Archaeology East (OA East) carried out a trial trench evaluation at Gravel End, Coveney, Cambridgeshire. Three trenches totalling 55m of linear trenching were excavated by machine. The evaluation revealed the remains of a medieval midden, present in the south-east of Trench 1 and the entirety of Trench 3, an area covering at least 20m x 10m. The midden material had been deposited in a series of pits, originally constructed either as quarries or for the deliberate disposal of rubbish. Evidence for the pitting was best represented in Trench 1. The midden was formed by at least three distinct layers in both trenches and measured up to 0.7m thick in the south-west of Trench 3. An assemblage of medieval and post-medieval pottery was recovered from the midden deposits. The pottery assemblage is moderately abraded contains both kitchen and table wares. Although some later fabrics are present, the midden represents, in part, a transitional assemblage from the high medieval to the later medieval period. The presence of transitional medieval-late medieval Ely ware sherds, suggests that there is a distinct phase of 14th century deposition within the midden. Other artefacts and ecofacts attest to both the domestic nature of the assemblage and the status of the building it may have come from.
