Abstract:		 In June 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land adjacent to 2 Old Great North Road, Water Newton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 1092 9719). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the construction of a residential dwelling and garage (Hunts DC Ref. 0900813FUL). The earliest dateable features recorded during excavation of this site were of early medieval date. These comprised three parallel ditches aligned north to south, a series of shorter linear features which may represent beamslots, and a number of pits, distributed across the excavated area. Some slightly later pottery was recorded in some of these features. A phase of medieval to early post-medieval activity was represented by a single pit. A posthole, a larger sub-rectangular pit and a series of levelling layers or surfaces comprise a third phase of activity dated as late post-medieval to modern. Although the Old Great North Road site is small, its identification comprises a significant addition to the corpus of information regarding Water Newton in the early medieval period. It increases the number of locations in the village at which Saxo-Norman activity has been identified and it can be confirmed that activity ceased, or began to cease, here at or around the 13th century; this is consistent with the theory that, at this time, there was a shift in the focus of settlement to the area around the church of St Regimius.
