Abstract:		 This report describes the results of archaeological excavation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Brampton Hut, Great North Road, Cambridgeshire (centred on NGR TL 1930 7192) between 30th March and 6th April 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by Winvic Construction, in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of a new retail area and landscaping. The aim of the work was to preserve by record any archaeological remains which would be damaged or destroyed by the new development. The excavation identified two main phases of field system, defined by boundary ditches, and two rectilinear enclosures. The earliest activity comprised two ditches on a northwest-southeast alignment. Finds were scarce owing to the agricultural character of the ditches, but the alignment of the ditches was the same as possible Iron Age field systems and enclosures seen in the field to the south-east of the site, indicating that these boundaries may also be part of a later prehistoric landscape. In the 12th-14th centuries a new field system, possibly part of a dispersed farmstead, on a different alignment was established. Two rectilinear enclosures and two boundary ditches, all on a broadly north-south or east-west alignment, were constructed in the northern half of the site. The small finds assemblage indicates that these features were not immediately close to any areas of settlement, which may have been situated to the north of the excavation area.
