Abstract:		 Between October 2001 and July 2004, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (formerly the Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust) carried out a programme of archaeological investigation at Scotts Close, Hilton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2900 6635), in advance of residential development. The excavations revealed a system of late Saxon and early medieval boundary/drainage ditches, demarcating backyard plots or small areas of home pasture attached to individual peasant holdings. Clusters of contemporary pits were also found; the majority are thought to have functioned as drainage sumps or watering holes for livestock rather than rubbish pits. Activity at Scotts Close may have begun as early as the 9th century, providing the earliest evidence for Hilton's origins found to date. The most intriguing feature of the site was an early - middle Saxon inhumation, apparently accidentally disturbed and then reburied with a degree of care in the 10th - 12th century. The circumstances of the reburial offer an unparalleled insight into medieval Christian perceptions of pagan otherness and attitudes towards the pagan dead.
