Abstract:		 Remains dating from the Palaeolithic to the post-medieval periods were uncovered during excavation. Several Late Upper Palaeolithic or Early Mesolithic worked flints were recovered from alluvial deposits within the flood plain at the southern edge of the site. A small area of surviving Late Mesolithic land surface was identified by lithics within a silty hollow in the gravel river terrace, including a small quantity of geometric microliths. Silt patches to the north of this, probably formed due to Early Neolithic landscape clearance, also produced an assemblage of worked flint, predominantly dating to the Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods. There was no further activity on the site until the early medieval period. Three sunken featured buildings were excavated, each containing two fills. Worked bone artefacts, Anglo-Saxon pottery of probable 6th-7th century date, a large quantity of butchery waste and items associated with cloth production were recovered from these buildings. A medieval trackway, likely to represent the former route of Bartlow Road, and linking Linton to the nearby priory, was uncovered in the north of the site. A chalk building platform associated with a minor trackway produced relatively large amounts of post-medieval pottery. Located nearby was a chalk-cut well, which produced an assemblage of medieval pottery. Truncation was apparent across parts of the site in the form of large extraction pits, which contained medieval pottery along with residual finds of Roman ceramic building material.
