During the months beginning 13th April 2005 through to the 8th August 2005, a small team from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook an archaeological investigation at Longstanton, Cambridgeshire. This project was commissioned by WSP Environmental on behalf of Gallaghers Ltd ahead of the proposed development of the land and in response to an evaluation in 2004. The site was located at Striplands Farm, approximately 9km north of Cambridge, within the village of Longstanton (NGR: 539330 267900 (TL 394 673)), where a series of fields were subjected to open area excavation.
