Abstract:		 The evaluation consisted of a programme of test pitting, trial trenching, magentic susceptibility survey, aerial photographic survey and documentary survey. It was revealed that the development area comprised of a tract of land of considerable archaeological interest. Two Romano-British inhumation cemeteries and a Horningsea Ware pottery production site were located. Abundant evidence for Romano-British cereal processing and animal husbandry existed in association with cropmark remains of a fen edge linear settlement. Two early Anglo-Saxon artefact scatters were investigated by griddled test pits. Two earth-fast post-built ('hall'-like) structures were revealed in association with other early Saxon features within one of the scatters. One possible grubenhaus was revealed. The associations between contemporary site foci and field systems (notably the Romano-British complexes), the development of the landscape over time (notably Romano-British to early Saxon), and the relationships between anthropogenic activity and the changing fen environment, provided a basis for the formulation of specific themes for the archaeological investigation of the area.
