Abstract:		 The location of “Cratendune”, recorded as the first site of Etheldreda’s residence at Ely, has been argued to have been located close to Bedwell Hey Farm House, Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire. This paper reviews available information regarding Cratendune and reports on recent work carried out at Bedwell Hey in connection with this lost settlement. Geophysical surveys and excavations from 2018 to 2021 have confirmed a Roman settlement to the west of the farm within a possible enclosure with a further discrete settlement, as yet undated, within its west boundary. Test pits were excavated in neighbouring fields to the north where an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered during the construction of RAF Witchford airfield in the 1940s.
