Abstract
Between the 7th and 11th February, the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council (AFU) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land between Anstey Hall, Plant Breeding International and Hauxton Road in Trumpington, Cambridge. The project was commissioned by RG Carter Projects Ltd, in advance of a proposed new Waitrose Foodstore. The evaluation revealed a complex picture of intercutting ditches and a number of smaller, discrete curvilinear features. Dating these features is problematic at present due to the paucity of diagnostic material recovered from the excavated features. Whilst an absolute date cannot at present be placed upon these finds, it is likely that they belong to the same period as similar features on nearby sites, and they have provisionally been ascribed to the Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age transition. Further excavation will increase the sample size of recovered artefactual material, and enable a more certain placing of the the site in a chronological context.
