The Research Report Series incorporates reports by Historic England's expert teams and other researchers. It replaces the former Centre for Archaeology Reports Series, the Archaeological Investigation Report Series, the Architectural Investigation Report Series, and the Research Department Report Series. Many of the Research Reports are of an interim nature and serve to make available the results of specialist investigations in advance of full publication. They are not usually subject to external refereeing, and their conclusions may sometimes have to be modified in the light of information not available at the time of the investigation. Where no final project report is available, readers must consult the author before citing these reports in any publication.
Remains of a multi-palisaded and ditched enclosure were identified during an archaeological watching brief and evaluation carried out in July 2007. In accordance with planning conditions an archaeological excavation was subsequently undertaken between August and December 2007, on behalf of Mar Estates Ltd. The excavation identified two phases of construction at the enclosure, the multiple palisades and entrance dating to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and a large ditch dating to the Middle-Late Iron Age. A Bronze Age burnt mound was found nearby

In October 2005, an archaeological excavation was undertaken on land at Lynton Way, Sawston, Cambridgeshire. The excavation revealed the southern part of a D-shaped enclosure, with an entranceway located on its south-east side; the ditches extended beyond the limits of the excavation but the remainder of the enclosure and its associated field systems have been identified in an aerial photographic assessment (Palmer 2005). Along with further enclosures identified to the south-west, the investigated enclosure may be part of a wide reaching unified system of land apportionment. Close to its entranceway, the enclosure ditch was cut by a large pit which may have had symbolic significance. In the north-west corner of the excavation, within the enclosure, two partial concentric circles of postholes (outer) and stakeholes (inner) were identified and interpreted as representing a roundhouse. Pottery was recovered only in very small quantities, exclusively from the enclosure ditches and large pit. The combined evidence of finds dates (pottery and struck flint) and radiocarbon dating of animal bone indicates a late Bronze Age date of c. 1100BC for activity at the site. The evidence from this investigation thus adds to the corpus of knowledge of late Bronze Age settlement in south-east Cambridgeshire.
