Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A planning application for the erection of a detached residential dwelling together with access and car parking on land adjacent to 25 High Street, Tilbrook, Cambridgeshire was approved by Huntingdon District Council. The archaeological excavations revealed features and deposits of the early-medieval period (1150-1250). These comprised six post holes, three pits, three large and three small erosional hollows and two gullies. The features were sealed by two anthropogenic layers also of early medieval date. The archaeological evidence is indicative of a prolonged period of activity which has disturbed and churned the ground with the dark colouration of the deposits being caused by the introduction of rubbish, charcoal-rich hearth debris and other domestic material. This process is suggestive of backyard activity, close to dwellings, from where the pottery and charcoal would have originated. A NW-SE aligned gully may indicate that the ditched boundaries of the early medieval settlement followed a different alignment to the extant north-south running property boundaries on the north side of the High Street Subsequent human activity and natural processes resulted in a degree of truncation and disturbance of the medieval features. This process is exemplified by the presence of occasional small fragments of coal, glass and pottery of modern date recovered from the samples taken from four of the features and the sealing layer. The contextual data have allowed reconstruction of a sequence of activity on the site from the early medieval periods onwards. The shallow features have provided insight into medieval settlement activity in the immediate vicinity.
