Abstract:		 In November 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation at 9 London Road, Great Chesterford, Essex (NGR TL 50536 42512). It followed an initial programme of trial trenching. The site lies within the area of the Roman cemetery lining London road (EHER 4948, 4949) associated with the contemporary walled town at Great Chesterford which is a Scheduled Monument (SM 24871). The earlier Roman town was associated with a walled enclosure around the church. A second walled enclosure was noted to the south of Newmarket Road, thought to follow the northern churchyard wall. It is thought to be either a military fortification pre-dating the Roman town, or part of the additional defences constructed in the 4th century AD. The presence of four graves shows that this site was within the boundary of the south-western cemetery of Great Chesterford. That all the burials were present to the south-west of a substantial ditch suggests that this ditch may have formed the boundary to the cemetery in this location. Sometime after the cemetery had gone out of use a Sunken-Featured Building (SFB) was constructed across the boundary ditch. Architecturally, this structure is suggestive of an early Anglo-Saxon population; Roman artefacts present in its fill might indicate an early Saxon community living alongside a post-Roman Romano-British community or an expression of the Anglo-Saxons' inherent interest in the past.
