Denny Lodge, Chittering, Cambridgeshire

Between the 14th to the 16th of July 2025, Oxford Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation at the site of a proposed development at Denny Lodge, Chittering in Cambridgeshire. The work was commissioned by Queens College, University of Cambridge and comprised the excavation of three evaluation trenches. The investigation revealed four ditches and two pits, alongside several modern features. A sherd of Roman pottery was recovered from a ditch recorded across Trenches 1 and 3. Although the remaining features could not be accurately dated, their shared alignment with the aforementioned ditch suggests they may have also dated to the Roman period. The character of the recorded archaeological remains indicates low levels of activity in the Roman period, probably of an agricultural nature, peripheral to areas of contemporary occupation.
