Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology (now MOLA) excavated part of a middle/late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement at Papworth Everard, prior to the construction of a car park to serve the adjacent Papworth Hospital. The earliest artefact is a Neolithic polished flint axe. Settlement probably commenced in the late Iron Age, with continuous occupation extending through most of the Roman period, into the 4th century AD. The focus of early settlement lay to the south, with only the northern corner of a ditched enclosure extending into the excavated area. This was replaced by a more extensive system of boundary ditches in the early Roman period, with small sub-enclosures perhaps used for livestock. The coarse ware pottery indicates that this was a small rural farmstead, and a kiln plate may indicate short-lived pottery manufacturing. Low level, widely scattered metalworking debris indicates that some smithing was taking place. In the late Roman period the existing boundaries were replaced by a new ditch system, perhaps a large enclosure. The settlement was abandoned in the 4th century AD, although sherds of pottery from the final fills of the enclosure ditch broadly dating to the 5th to 9th centuries AD indicate that there was activity nearby during the early/middle Saxon period. There were also medieval or post-medieval furrows of a ridge and furrow field system, levelled in the 19th-20th centuries,
