Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation of land south-east of Lancaster Way Business Park, Ely, Cambridgeshire, in March and April 2008. The site was formerly part of a World War II RAF base but is currently given over to agriculture. The evaluation comprised trial trenching on c 36ha of land proposed for development. The excavations confirmed the presence of Iron Age and early Roman enclosures and settlement remains at the north end of the application site, and smaller areas of Iron Age or Roman remains within the south-west and central-eastern parts of the site. The remains were characterised by boundary and enclosure ditches but few discrete domestic features such as pits were found. In the remaining parts of the application area no evidence for pre-medieval activity was found. There was no evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity found at the site and the suggestion that a previously identified burial site of this period to the south might extend into the proposed development area or that it was the location for the early settlement of Cratendune was not supported by the excavations. Later activity comprised extensive medieval ridge and furrow cultivation and post-medieval field boundaries.
