Abstract:		 The evaluation led to the discovery of an important Romano-British settlement. With an early Roman urned cremation cemetery the occupation appeared to be of 4th century date. Locally, features had been backfilled with midden-like deposits, with a high density of coins recovered in association. An inhumation of probable Roman date was found at the northern end of the site and elsewhere loose human bone suggested the truncation of other graves. The site probably related to earlier findings at the Observatory and on Gravel Hill north of Madingley Road and as such seemed part of the major Roman complex. A small quantity of prehistoric flintwork was also recovered and features evidently relating to the late-/post-medieval 'Willowes Ditch' were investigated. [Au]
