Abstract:		 Between the 3rd and 14th of November 2014, Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological evaluation on land north of Newmarket Road, Burwell, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation consisted of 54 machine excavated trenches across three fields and revealed two main areas of Late Bronze Age archaeology. An area in the south-west corner of the site, revealed clusters of postholes from buildings, fence lines or other structures along with several pits and a possible well, all indicating settlement activity in this part of the site. The second area, revealed what appears to be an isolated cremation as well as a small number of pits and tree throws, containing pottery and animal bone. The cremation vessel was almost complete and contained the cremated remains of an adult and a child. Features in both areas yielded Late Bronze Age pottery. Only a small amount of animal bone was recovered from the entire site and just a handful of worked flints. However, surface finds could indicate other areas of flint-working may exist nearby. The remains are similar to that recorded to the south-west of the site, at land to the rear of Nos 36-42 Newmarket Road, excavated in 2005. Although initially dated to the Iron Age, recent reappraisal of the pottery from this site has led to its reinterpretation as a Late Bronze Age site. Together these sites would indicate a large area of settlement activity from the Late Bronze Age surviving within the eastern environs of Burwell.
