Abstract:		 Between the 21st June and 16th July 2011 the Cambridge Archaeological Unit carried out an archaeological evaluation and open excavation within the footprint of a proposed new student accommodation block on Corpus Christi College land at Cranmer Road (no.25 Cranmer Road), Cambridg, adjacent to the college sports field. The investigation began with the digging of four evaluation trenches. Two suggested Saxon-Early Medieval ditches were located, and as a result, an area of c.180 sq m was opened up and excavated, revealing what appears to be the partly in-turned entrance of a sub-circular enclosure. Three of these ditches produced Middle Saxon pottery, fragments of weathered lava quern, burnt stone, daub, and considerable amounts of animal bone - most of the latter coming from the terminal ditch segment which may have been dug as a quarry pit just beyond the end of the original ditch. Another ditch dug across the inside of this entrance was constructed somewhat differently, and appears to be of a much later date. Little more can be said about the interpretation of this small enclosure, except that it confirms the relatively rare occurrence of a Middle Saxon settlement in this area.
