Abstract:		 Between 9th March and 5th September 2018, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological excavation at 26 South End, Bassingbourncum-Kneesworth, Cambridgeshire. The excavation was preceded by an archaeological trial trench evaluation (Lee-Smith 2017), also conducted by AS (dated December 2017). The site is located on the edge of the historic medieval village core. Archaeological works at Bassingbourn Village College revealed evidence of Iron Age occupation (CHER MCB17408) and Saxon settlement and occupation (CHER MCB18142). Cropmarks of enclosures, linear features and ring ditches (e.g. CHER MCB21153 and 09464) are known to the south west of the proposed development site, and Roman artefacts have been found to the north-west (CHER 03123). Standing late medieval/post-medieval buildings are located on the street frontage close to the site (CHER DCB5342, DCB5416, DCB534 and DCB6133), demonstrating that this part of the village was developed by the 17th century or earlier. The excavation revealed an early phase of archaeology, represented by ditches aligned north-east to south-west but containing little artefactual evidence, followed by a more substantial phase of medieval archaeological represented by a co-axial system of ditches forming a series of small enclosures. The third and final phase of identifiable archaeological activity was dated as post-medieval/modern and consisted of linear features organised on similar alignments to the medieval ones and features such as wells and cess pits.
