Abstract:		 Due to access restrictions the evaluation of the site was conducted in two stages in advance of the proposed development of the subject site for a new Park and Ride facility for the City of Cambridge. Evaluation demonstrated the presence of significant archaeological remains including a number of Neolithic pits. The highest densities of features and associated artefactual materials were present towards the south-western corner of the northern field. Features included pits, a possible round house, post holes and enclosure ditches, indicative of probable settlement related activity within the immediate area. The date range for the materials from the current evaluation indicated the foundation of a settlement during the Late Bronze Age with the potential for continuity of use of the site right through the Iron Age. Interestingly, no Romano-British or later remains were encountered during the evaluation. Additional remains consisted of a series of undated pits and ditches. Although no artefactual material was recovered, excavation was expected to confirm that many of the pits related to tree clearance during the Neolithic period. Most of the undated ditches encountered represented field boundaries or drainage ditches, presumably relating to the adjacent settlement. [Au(abr)]
