Abstract:		 An excavation carried out in advance of a major extension to a borrow pit recorded evidence of utilisation of the site dating from the Early Neolithic through to Saxon times. A large assemblage of Early Neolithic flint and pottery was recovered from one feature, and later Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pits were recorded. Romano-British enclosures were present at the south, east and north of the site. The southern complex consisted of sub-divided fields to either side of a broad droveway, dating from the late 1st-2nd century AD. The inhumation of a child was recorded within one paddock. Occupation debris was abundant within the backfills of discrete features; the associated settlement must have lain to the south or west. The field systems may have represented provisioning areas for the Roman fort and town at Chesterford, to the south. 5th-7th century occupation was attested to by two sunken-featured buildings and a series of pits. Roman features with Saxon material present within their upper levels indicated long-term earthwork survival; there was evidence of Saxon curation of Roman artefacts. [Au(adp)]
