Archaeological excavation was undertaken by a team from Cambridge Archaeological Unit at Colmworth Business Park, Eaton Socon, St Neots, Cambridgeshire (centred NGR TL 517111 258001) in December 2004. The work was commissioned by Artisan (UK) Developments Ltd in advance of construction of a nursery, an office building and associated car parks. A total area of 1310m2 was excavated revealing early Neolithic pits containing frequent pottery, flint, and carbonised hazelnut shells and cereal grains. A Romano-British ditch and the remains of a probable cultivation system were also discovered.
