Abstract
In 1991 a watching brief was carried out on a pipeline between Lonstanton and Bluntisham. Despite operational difficulties the work showed that the area was high in archaeological potential.
While the pipe passed close to several known sites it did in fact have a recognisable impact on only one. A watching brief and some limited excavation work demonstrated the continuation of the Roman settlement at Barleycroft Farm Quarry into the easement of the pipeline.
In addition, it was possible to adopt a route for part of the pipeline which would avoid the nationally important archaeological site of the Over Barrow group.
In the light of results from the archaeological work on the pipeline, recommendations on the planning and completion of archaeological work on similar projects have been made.
