Abstract:		 MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) conducted an archaeological desk-based heritage assessment of land at Ken Stimpson School, Werrington, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The site lies within the playing fields of Ken Stimpson School in Werrington, at the north-west end of Peterborough. There is one Grade I Listed Building and twenty-four Grade II Listed Buildings within the historic core of Werrington to the south-east of the site. A Scheduled Monument, Car Dyke, lies beyond the 500m Historic Environment Record (HER) search radius to the east of the site. There are no Registered Battlefields or Registered Park and Gardens in the vicinity. The site lies at the eastern verges of the cultivatable land at the periphery of the fenland landscape. The area was host to marginal communities during the prehistoric and Roman periods and flints have been found in the area through previous archaeological works nearby and through fieldwalking on land to the north-west. Two Bronze Age ring ditches lie to the north-east. Werrington Iron Age enclosure lies adjacent to the north-west of the site and was abandoned during the 1st century AD but was resettled later in the Roman period. Werrington Roman settlement lies close to the north-west, from which a trackway leads eastwards towards Car Dyke, which was a significant waterway during the period. The Saxon and medieval settlement of Werrington lies along Church Street and a possible medieval moated site lies to the west. Ridge and furrow has been identified through aerial photography to the south-east of the site and the bases of furrows have been observed during trial trench evaluation immediately to the north-west. Cartographic evidence suggests that the site lay within open farmland throughout the post-medieval period.
