Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of a 2.39ha area was undertaken in advance of a proposed housing development. Nine trenches were opened and archaeological features were observed in all of them. Medieval furrows were found to continue the pattern seen in neighbouring excavations to the north, and on aerial photographs. A curvilinear ditch was excavated that may have been part of an Iron Age roundhouse. A system of parallel ditches bounded by a ditch perpendicular to this system was dated to the early Roman period, and showed great similarity to the Iron Age and Roman field systems and enclosures excavated just to the north of Hall Drive. Similar Roman agricultural features had been identified on several sites in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties. At Wollaston in Northamptonshire, for example, grape pollen provided evidence to support an interpretation that the features may have related to a vineyard. While no evidence like this had been found so far at Caldecote, the closest parallel physically for these features was the arrangement found at Wollaston. [Au(abr)]
