Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation revealed that there was activity on the site from probably the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age to the end of the 2nd century AD. This was comparable with the excavations to the east at Lower Cambourne, which noted a sharp decline in activity during the latter part of the 2nd century (Wright et al 2009). Several areas of increased archaeological activity were noted in the southern, eastern and north-western parts of the development site. These mainly comprised ditches that were characteristic of later prehistoric and Roman settlement boundaries and field systems. The finds assemblages, whilst small, suggested that the site lay in close proximity to a settlement probably dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. A number of features were of note and these included a possible ring gully identified in the southern part of the development area close to the crop marks identified by the aerial photographic survey. This suggests earlier, prehistoric occupation extending into the site. In the north-western part of the development area an east to west aligned ditch, was identified by the geophysical survey. This had large quantities of stone in its base and may have represented a possible palisade trench. A poorly preserved inhumation, next to a relatively large boundary ditch in this part of the site, may be interpreted as indicators that the development area lay close to a settlement boundary.
