Abstract:		 In September 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land between 33 and 43 Meadow Road, Great Gransden, Cambridgeshire SG19 3BB (NGR TL 2646 5597; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a dwelling (Huntingdon District Council Approval Ref. 18/0645/FUL), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The evaluation recorded several undated tree hollows and a pit, and most notably a medieval (11th-12th century) furrow containing domestic waste, including sparse quantities of pottery, animal bone and a possible copper alloy strap end. Several areas of ridge-and-furrow cultivation have previously been recorded surrounding the village, and this furrow likely forms part of that practice on the edge of the former medieval core of Great Gransden. There is extensive evidence for medieval activity at Great Gransden, notably a moated site and fishponds a short distance to the south of the site; while investigations slightly further east at Rectory Farm revealed contemporary gullies, pits and pottery. Therefore the presence of a furrow would suggest that the site was part of a cultivated plot, adjacent or very close to medieval occupation at Great Gransden, and that scatters of domestic debris may have been discarded or distributed on such fields as part of rubbish disposal or manure. A modern post hole was also recorded.
