Abstract:		 Between 20th-25th May 2013 the CAU undertook an archaeological trench evaluation at nos. 169-173 High Street, Chesterton following the demolition of the public house and a number of associated buildings. This consisted of 57.5m of trenching dug across the proposed development area (PDA) the centre of which lay at TL 4645 5999. Medieval archaeology was encountered towards the street frontage of no. 169. Amongst the earliest features was a SW-NE aligned ditch dating to the 12th century which cut an earlier NW-SE ditch, whilst to the rear of this lay a series of c. 12th century rubbish pits which appear to have been infilled by the 14th century. In front, set back some 6-7m from the edge of the present High Street, were a number of clunch wall footings associated with one or more Postmedieval (16th-17th century?) dwellings, the base of these walls cutting a Late Medieval (15th century?) dark occupation horizon with good preservation of environmental evidence. During the later Postmedieval period (18th-19th century) a considerable amount of pitting and rubbish deposition took place to the rear of this plot. Meanwhile a possible early boundary ditch to no. 169/ 171 High Street was identified within the adjacent garden/ car park to the rear of no. 173.
