Abstract:		 Between 5th September and 7th October 2016 Oxford Archaeology East (OA East) carried out a trenched evaluation at the former Waterbeach Barracks and Airfield, Waterbeach. Prehistoric finds from the evaluation were restricted to the recovery of a few residual worked flints of Early Neolithic date, and a scatter of Late Iron Age pottery. An area of extensive Roman settlement was found on the north-western part of the site (Area 3), to the west of the former runway. Further features were also revealed within the fields to the north of the former airfield, including field boundaries and concentrated areas of pitting indicative of marl quarrying, that may also date to the Roman period. A second area of Roman remains suggestive of settlement was also revealed to the east of the former runway (Area 6), in the southern part of the site, which also had previously been indicated by geophysical survey. A small inhumation cemetery is represented by a cluster of five burials, presumably also of Roman date. Further north, and to the east of the runway another area of Roman ditched boundaries was uncovered (Area 8). Medieval activity was confined to the presence of relict ridge and furrow cultivation which was found to be widespread across the site. The trenches in the southern part of Area 6 contained some substantial but poorly dated ditches, with many containing post-medieval drainage pipes, cut into a lower 'dirty' subsoil layer that yielded some post-medieval pottery sherds.
