During April and May 2011, the Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook a phase of monitoring, excavation and recording at the Red Lion Hotel, Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire (TL 4848 4725) during groudworks associated with the extension of the hotel, including a new car park and services. The remains of two probable Medieval skeletons, and several post-medieval wells and pits were found during the course of the project.

During June 2012, a watching brief was undertaken at South Kelsey, Lincolnshire (NGR TF 0459 9723), to monitor the groundworks associated with the replacement of a water main. The excavation of a pipe trench adjacent to the Bull Inn, and five reception pits all situated within the vicinity of a deserted Medieval village were observed during the watching brief. No archaeological features were encountered.

300 metres of evaluation trench were excavated through deep deposits of modern backfill and wartime factory floor deposits in land adgacent to a revious open area excavation which revealed the presence of prehistoric, romano-british and nedieval occupation and land use. The trenches contained the remnants of a medieval routeway as well as demonstrating large quantities of modern truncation

An archaeological evaluation and monitoring on the site of a proposed substation and associated works compound. No archaeological evidence was encountered.

An archaeological watching brief has been conducted by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) at Jesus College, Cambridge, between the 1st and the 26th of September, 2011 and then, again later, in March of the following year. This primarily consisted of the monitoring of drainage works associated with the refurbishment of the Carpenter and Morley Horder Buildings, which are situated a short distance to the east of the former Benedictine Nunnery of St Mary and St Rhadegund.

Excavations were undertaken by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit between the 30th of April and the 19th of June 2012 on the site of the former Old Fire Station and former Household Waste Disposal Site, St. Neots, Cambridgeshire. This work has revealed evidence for medieval and later occupation. A roadside ditch along Huntingdon Street was established around the 11th century and by the 12th century the area was divided into a series of long narrow rectangular plots fronting onto Huntingdon Street. These represent a suburban expansion of the town of St. Neots; this development thrived throughout the 13th-mid 14th centuries, before going into a period of prolonged decline with identifiable activity ending in the late 16th-early 17th century. Occupation began again in the mid 18th century, again with its focus on Huntingdon Street. This has continued until the present, with particular evidence for a phase of activity in the early 20th century, which involved the deposition of two substantial groups of material.

A watching brief was undertaken at New Court, Trinity College, Cambridge between the 11th of July and the 15th of August 2012. Three investigative trenches were excavated by contractors within the northern part of New Court, one of which also extended partway along the adjacent Bakehouse Yard. The trenches were positioned so as to determine the layout and extent of pre-existing services in advance of the proposed instillation of new sewerage and drainage works. This comprised the second phase of investigative work to be undertaken in the area, following on from the insertion of seven similar trenches in December 2011 and January 2012.

A trench-based evaluation, comprising three trenches, was undertaken at the Parkside Fire and Rescue Station site, Cambridge, between the 12th and the 21st of September 2011. This revealed that the site had previously been subject to intensive gravel quarrying activity. Although no earlier, pre-quarry features had survived, two distinct types of quarry pit were identified. The first of these consisted of a series of haphazardly arranged sub-oval features, one of which was found to contain abraded Roman pottery (although the majority of these quarries appear most likely to have been medieval in origin). Subsequently, however, during the 17th century, the site became the focus of more intensive 'strip-type' extraction techniques. A large number of deep, straight-sided linear pits were inserted at this time, and between them these features removed almost all of the remaining natural gravel. Following the Inclosure of the site in 1807, its by now irregular and uneven terrain was landscaped and a relatively high-status villa - Peters Field (or Petersfield) House - was constructed. This was finally demolished in 1963-4 in order to allow the erection of the Parkside Fire and Rescue Station.

Prior to the commencement of work in the CB1 area no certain evidence of prehistoric activity was known within the study area. The site lies in the broader hinterland area of the Roman town of Cambridge, a zone from which direct evidence of activity from this period remains scarce despite several recent investigations. Some of the gravel extraction activity found at Site I was dated to the medieval period. Small amounts of medieval (14th century and later) pottery were recovered in the Cattle Market evaluation, probably indicating nothing more than general agricultural activity. Otherwise, the only archaeological finds dating from this period lie at some distance from the development site. The map sequence between 1807 and the present day shows the development of the area in which the site lies as the City of Cambridge gradually expanded beyond its medieval boundaries in the later nineteenth century.

Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook an archaeological evaluation at Overcote Farm, Over, Cambridgeshire, between the 1st and 3rd October 2012. Within the evaluation trenches a substantial probable prehistoric ditch, a smaller Romano-British ditch and a series of small, shallow post-medieval pits were identified and recorded.

This Archaeological Desk Based Assessment was commissioned by Acorus on behalf of Fridays Ltd to assess the potential impact of four proposed poultry buildings at Tolehurst Farm, Frittenham, Kent. There is little archaeological potential within the study area apart from a potentially well preserved Roman Road, but even this may not be directly impacted upon by the proposed development.

This archaeological desktop assessment was commissioned by Januarys on behalf of Ridgeons to assess the likely impact of development on a c. 13.05ha area consisting of commercial properties, business units and warehousing. Evaluation of the archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the site to be located on the fringe of an ancient market town of historical and architectural significance, with archaeological features dating from the Palaeolithic to the present date within the urban and wider rural landscape. Although possible later Medieval and post- Medieval archaeological features have been found diagonally opposite the PDA, the probability of encountering any archaeology within the site is considered to be extremely low due to extensive truncation.
