Abstract:		 Between 23rd October and 5th December 2014 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological excavation on land adjacent to Cam Drive, Ely (TL 542 820) ahead of development for housing and associated infrastructure. Archaeological remains ranging in date from the Early Neolithic through to the post-medieval period were encountered. The finds assemblage was dominated by prehistoric pottery with quantities of Roman pottery also being found. A small amounts of human skeletal remains came from a single Roman cremation. Neolithic activity included two natural hollows, which contained Neolithic pottery, and a background spread of residual finds in later features. The principal phase of activity took place during the Middle Bronze Age with the construction of a large sub-rectangular enclosure, bounded on three sides by ditches. This enclosure contained internal divisions in the north-east with possible post built structures at its centre. A number of Middle Bronze Age pits and a waterhole dating to this period were also uncovered. The Romano-British activity was characterised by several field boundaries and a system of cultivation strips. The field boundaries were orientated approximately east to west and some extended beyond the limits of excavation, suggesting they were part of a much wider field system. The cultivation strips were orientated north-north-east to south-south-west and were heavily truncated. Evidence for the medieval and post-medieval periods consisted of a boundary ditch near to the northern limit of the site along with numerous north to south aligned cultivation furrows.
