Abstract:		 Huntingdonshire District Council granted planning permission (16/01927/FUL) for the erection of two dwelling at Manor Farm, Brington Road, Old Weston, Huntingdon. The Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team Archaeologist advised that a programme of archaeological investigation should be secured through the inclusion of a negative condition. The evaluation was undertaken between 31st October and 2nd November 2017 and comprised the excavation of two trial trenches across the footprint of the proposed buildings. No archaeological remains pre-dating the medieval period were revealed. The features identified comprised three linear features, a large quarry pit and a possible limestone wall foundation. Two of the linear features were heavily root disturbed and contained post-medieval pottery, however, the westernmost contained high medieval pottery dating to the 12th-13th century. All three features may have originated as agricultural furrows. The quarry pit also produced 12th-13h-century material from its lower fill, but was not fully excavated due to its depth. The wall foundation was only present in the trench section and could not be dated. The evaluation showed that in the medieval period the area around Manor Farm was most likely within open fields, with the arable strips arranged at right angles to Brington Road. There was no evidence of any earlier land use. By the post-medieval period the PDA had become part of the grounds of Manor Farm with the land subject to disposal of domestic refuse and possible extraction of clay for building purposes. The ground surface is likely to have been raised when it was part of a garden in the 19th century.
