The archaeological excavation area was defined by trial trenching in advance of the construction of a Mechanical Biological Treatment Plant at the Waste Management Park, Ely Road, Waterbeach. Scattered prehistoric activity was identified but the majority of the archaeology was asociated with the edge of a Romano-British settlement. The settlement included two enclosures, droveways and quarrying with a late Roman midden containing 85 Roman coins and other possible votive objects, potentially related to the nearby Roman temple.
