Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation was undertaken across a c.83ha area located on the eastern side of the River Great Ouse at its junction with the fens at Earith/Haddenham (centred on TL 39900 73500).The investigation area constituted the fourth mitigation phase of Hanson's Over/Needingworth Quarry and encompassed an area immediately to the east of the existing quarry including the site of Willingham Mere; a former lake extending over some 37ha within the eastern half of proposed development zone. Investigations revaled a buried landscape comprising a series of submerged terraces around a shallow valley system. Within this landscape, which pre-dates the formation of Willingham Mere proper (during Roman period) evidence of archaeological activity was largely confined to the gravel terraces. Archaeological remains recorded include Grooved Ware and Peterborough Ware associated Neolithic pits, a 'cache' of Neolithic flint nodules amongst which was a polished axe, an Early Bronze Age hearth, a Middle Bronze Age palstave and elements of a probably Middle Bronze Age fieldsystem.
