Abstract:		 Two phases of archaeological evaluation and an earthwork survey were conducted on land between the A142 and Wenny Road, Chatteris from the 11th May and 23rd June and 9th to 11th November 2015,. The earthwork survey was conducted in advance of the evaluation in order to define areas of well-preserved ridge and furrow earthworks. Trial trenches were targeted on anomalies identified by a geophysical survey conducted in January 2015, and were positioned to avoid well preserved areas of ridge and furrow. The most significant features dated to the Early Iron Age, Roman, and post-medieval periods. Two Iron Age gullies and a Roman ditch indicate that a settlement dating to the Late Iron Age or Roman period may be located nearby. Evidence for medieval activity consisted predominantly of extensive ridge and furrow earthworks that are preserved in Fields 1 and 2. Two concentrations of 16th-18th century artefacts, including two 17th century knives, were located in the centre of Field 1 and Field 4, whilst a small ditch in Trench 2 may date to the early post-medieval period. The relatively high quantity of material dating to this period may indicate of increased activity in this area around the Civil War and the construction of Ireton's Way. No direct evidence of military occupation was found.
