Abstract:		 The report outlines the results of evaluation fieldwork across a c.105 ha area of the Over terraces along the lower reaches of the River Great Ouse, comprising a wet landscape crossed by three palaeochannels, with one gravel island and two sand 'ridges'. Significant archaeology from the Late Mesolithic to the Iron Age was encountered on the sand ridges. Mesolithic and Neolithic activity was represented by flint artefacts within the buried soil. Five barrows probably dated to the Early Bronze Age; a possible fieldsystem and two cremation burials were probably also Bronze Age in date. Late Bronze Age activity was represented by a small assemblage of potsherds. The Iron Age was well-represented, and a possible Iron Age settlement was encountered in the western part of the northern of the two ridges. A single sherd of Roman pottery was also found.
