Abstract:		 In July 2018, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological excavation on behalf of Belinda Ashdown and Jed Cole as part of a planning application reference in advance of the construction of a single dwelling, double garage, access and turning along with all associated site works at Land Adjacent to 2 Main Street, Wentworth. The excavation was undertaken in response to a design brief issued by Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET) requiring the controlled strip and excavation of an area outlined. A previous evaluation carried out at the site revealed evidence dating to the late Saxon period, mid-12th century and modern periods, as well as possible Iron Age or Romano-British features. The excavations revealed three phases of activity, dating from the early medieval to medieval periods. The most significant of which was the evidence of medieval quarrying and waste disposal (Phase II). The excavation has allowed an opportunity to add to the Early medieval and medieval record in the area, potentially indicating to the extent of the medieval core of the settlement. Phase II shows the site was utilised for activity kept peripheral to the main settlement, such as clay extraction through quarrying and waste disposal.
