Abstract:		 Report on an archaeological excavation undertaken in 2005 on land at Lynton Way, Sawston, Cambridgeshire. The excavation revealed the southern part of a D-shaped enclosure, with an entrance located on its southeast side; the ditches extended beyond the limits of the excavation but the remainder of the enclosure and its associated field systems have been identified in an aerial photographic assessment. Along with further enclosures identified to the southwest, the excavated enclosure might have been part of a wide-reaching unified system of land apportionment. Close to its entrance, the enclosure ditch was cut by a large pit which might have had symbolic significance. In the northwest corner of the excavation, within the enclosure, two partial concentric circles of postholes and stakeholes were identified and interpreted as representing a roundhouse. Artefacts were sparse but the pottery and struck flint assemblages were consistent with the date of c. 1100 BC indicated by radiocarbon dating. Separately authored contributions include
