Abstract:		 Watching brief. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of a new running track at RAF Lakenheath. Parts of the development area had been subject to archaeological excavation between 2011 and 2012 uncovering Iron Age settlement and the aim of this current work was to record any archaeological deposits within areas that had not been accessible during the earlier investigations. An initial three visits were conducted in January 2020 to the southern part of the site where excavations to level the site exposed the archaeological horizon. Most of the site was truncated by previous development and service trenches but four undated pits were identified. No archaeological artefacts were recovered during these works. A further two visits were conducted in May and July 2020 to monitor the excavation of the soakaways at the northern edge of the site. A single pit was recorded within the north-eastern area which was undated but contained heat-altered flint and two postholes were identified within the north-western soakaway. Two final visits were conducted in September 2020 to monitor a service trench to the north of Bedford road, which was completely disturbed by modern made ground. The results of the work have been added to the overall archaeological plan of this area and have served to confirm the earlier excavation results and to allow confident interpretation of the form and date of the Iron Age settlement.
