Abstract:		 The study showed that, while no archaeology was recorded from the site itself, it lay in a rich landscape with remains from the Mesolithic period onwards. Extensive Roman remains lay to the north (SAM Cambs: 255, a Roman villa) and prehistoric material was recorded from the vicinity. Excavations 100 metres to the east found a large ditch, of probable Roman or Saxon date. Whilst this would not extend into the site, it did indicate that significant features extended beyond the area suggested by aerial photographs. The site was formerly within the bounds of the Duxford airfield and it was possible that unrecorded military remains existed. A large concrete pillbox still stood in the south west corner of the site. [Au]
