Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on land at Girton Quarry. The section formed by overburden stripping of the adjacent quarry site was recorded demonstrating that the sand-dune was formed of at least two stratigraphic elements comprising an in situ peat-filled palaeochannel deduced to be of 2nd and 1st Millenium date as Bronze Age deposits were interleaved with its basal sediments some 400 metres to the north, which had been buried by reworked sands from which Romano-British artefacts were recovered. An archaeological feature was recorded on the margin of the palaeochannel and sealed by the reworked sands. Fieldwalking recovered Later Neolithic flintwork, Romano British and Medieval pottery, and a significant quantity of Saxo-Norman pottery. Trenching in the areas of Saxo-Norman pottery unfortunately failed to located any associated features. At the top of the dune, trenching recorded one possible and one probable Anglo-Saxon sunken featured building. Saxon loom-weights were found in both of these features, and the recovery of one fragment of a cruciform brooch may hint at the presence of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery as well as a settlement in the vicinity.
