Abstract:		 The area subject to evaluation was adjacent to the King's Dyke brick pit on the west side of Whittlesey Island. The field was the first of three areas designated for clay extraction as extensions to the quarry. A Roman settlement site was known at the centre of the area from cropmark evidence and the recovery of large amounts of pottery during fieldwalking. Further fieldwalking, trench excavation, test-pitting and environmental sampling were undertaken. The settlement proved to lay on a south-west to north-east axis, comprising ditches, pits, postholes, beam-slots and other features indicative of three or four distinct phases of activity. A metalled roadway was also excavated and may have been part of the Fen Causeway. A Bronze Age artifact was recovered, and whether curated in the Iron Age, or ploughed out from within an earlier Bronze Age feature in the vicinity, Bronze Age occupation of the area was considered likely.
