Abstract:		 The evaluation found slight evidence for prehistoric activity, comprising a posthole and a pit, both containing single struck flint flakes, in Trench 4. A residual Late Iron Age or early Roman potsherd was recovered from Trench 1. A medieval to post-medieval plough-soil survived across the site, sealed below deposits associated with the construction of St Regis Flats in the 1930s. In Trench 5 the lower part of this plough-soil contained medieval pottery; medieval potsherds and a lower quantity of post-medieval pottery were recovered from it in Trench 1. A medieval ditch in the central part of the site (Trench 3) appears to be an early demarcation of a field boundary which lasted until the late 19th century and which is shown on the Chesterton Enclosure and Tithe Maps, and the 1st Edition OS Map. The overall quantity and condition of the medieval pottery from the site indicates that it derives from manuring. However, its fairly frequent occurrence in the plough-soil across the site might indicate proximity to a farmstead or other focus of occupation, perhaps an area of medieval dispersed settlement along Chesterton Road, which is known to be an early route between Cambridge and the village at Chesterton. There is no evidence of direct occupation on the site at any time before the early 20th century. The good preservation conditions mean that this absence is likely to be genuine rather than due to truncation. The further archaeological potential of the site itself would therefore appear to be low.
