Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Cambridge Archaeological Unit between March and August 2009 on behalf of Integrated Utility Services (IUS) during the excavation for underground cables on land north of West Deeping, Lincolnshire, centred on NGR 510938 309863. This watching brief is situated within the Cemex Quarry where a previous evaluation (Patten 2002), and subsequent 1st phase of excavation (Murrell 2010). In total 0.283 hectares were excavated along the 1746m long cable route. The investigation produced a quantity of artefacts within features from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British, Early Medieval and post-Medieval periods. This activity has been given context and has been dated using information from previous investigations and the extensive landscape survey undertaken in the vicinity. This activity included a co-axial Bronze Age ditch system, a triple Iron Age ditch system, and substantial Roman road side activity including; quarry pits, inhumations containing military issue metal adornments within roadside ditches, and large stone lined postholes probably from buildings. The sections of the roadside activity related to settlement were capped by a 'dark soil' layer which contained abundant material culture The results of this investigation revealed significant evidence of Roman roadside activity. As a result of the intrusive nature of this investigation (underground cables) and 'safe stand-off' required, this Roman roadside activity is not likely to be exposed within future phases of excavation at King Street
