Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out on 0.42ha of land for a proposed warehouse building to the south-east of Lancaster Way Business Park, Ely, Cambridgeshire. The site was part of a former World War II RAF base that has since been restored to agriculture. The excavations revealed a sequence of enclosures and boundary ditches dating from the Middle to Late Iron Age, through to the first half of the 1st century AD. Finds indicating domestic and craft activity included pottery, animal bone, a loomweight, bone weaving comb and personal dress items. A small quantity of slag and hammerscale provides evidence of limited metalworking. The excavated area forms part of a more extensive Iron Age settlement lying to the south and east. The site was traversed and truncated by furrows of a former medieval field system.
