Abstract:		 Between June and July 2015 OA East conducted an excavation within the grounds of the Woolf Institute, Westminster College, Cambridge. The site, located south-west of the Roman town known as 'Duroliponte', revealed a sequence of settlement-related features spanning the Roman and post-Roman periods. Ceramic evidence indicates that this predominantly agricultural settlement was probably established in the very latest Iron Age to Early Roman period (AD30-60). It appears to have been re-organised after the mid-1st century, with the cutting of numerous narrow north-east to south-west aligned gullies. Other settlement-related features include the remains of at least two probable agricultural structures, one containing a hearth or oven, along with numerous pits. This was followed by a change and possible decline in activity in the mid-2nd to 3rd century, represented by the cutting of two parallel boundary ditches and a well. Evidence for activity after the 3rd century is limited to a few surface finds of coins and two inhumation burials. In general, this site probably represents part of a small farming community, which also undertook some low-level metalworking, that developed within the immediate hinterland of the Roman town. Despite the close proximity of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery to the south of the site, the evidence for activity of this date is limited to a single possible pit that truncated one of the burials. Medieval and later activity was represented by a few pits, layers and finds: evidence that is consistent with the site being located within fields and subsequently gardens until the construction of the college in the late 19th century.
