Abstract:		 In November 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation at Castle Hills House, School Lane, Eaton Socon, St Neots, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 1727 5880). Following the evaluation, in January and February 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of monitoring and recording. The evaluation and monitoring were commissioned by Eric M. Adkins and Associates on behalf of Mr and Mrs J. Brown and were undertaken in advance of a proposed new extension to the residential dwelling and garage extension/replacement. They were undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval (Huntingdonshire District Council Planning Ref. 11/00642FUL). The evaluation revealed two linear ditches, not contemporary. One contained Late Iron Age - Early Roman pottery and a fragment of a triangular loom or thatch weight that may have been utilised in the late Iron Age or Roman periods. There are a considerable amount of Romano-British archaeological remains in the vicinity of the site. Most of the archaeological evidence is indicative of large rural settlements distributed along the banks of the river Great Ouse, which would have been advantageous for water supplies and for exploitation of the fertile ground for agricultural and pasture. A large cropmark complex (HER 00389) is located c. 215m north-east of the site and it is likely that the settlement site continued south-west. The monitoring revealed three undated ditches (F2006, F2008 and F2010) broadly parallel (orientated E/W) to Ditch F1011 recorded in the trial trench evaluation. A modern pit (F2012) contained disarticulated human remains likely to be associated with the 'Castle Hills' Scheduled Monument immediately to the north-east.
