Abstract:		 Huntingdon DC has granted planning consent (00/01585/OUT) to Bedfordia Developments Ltd for re-development of land at Grove Lane, Ellington, Cambridgeshire. The County Planning Archaeologist issued a brief for an evaluation comprising an archaeological desk-based assessment, the re-plotting and analysis of relevant aerial photographs and trial trench excavation. Its aims were to determine the date, character and extent of any archaeological remains within the development area. The evaluation was undertaken by Albion Archaeology on behalf of Bedfordia Developments Ltd. The archaeological desk-based assessment and re-plotting of the aerial photographs and their assessment revealed the development area to be within an historic landscape largely dominated by the evidence of medieval fields and cultivation terraces associated with the medieval village of Ellington 200m to the south. However, they did not demonstrate the presence of archaeological deposits within the development area. A programme of extensive trial trenching failed to identify any significant archaeological deposits. The trial trenches revealed modern features and deposits associated with levelling up of the land to the north of Ellington Brook, dredged material from the brook to the south of Ellington Brook and make-up layers associated with the depot site at the north of the development area. It is possible that the site has been used exclusively for pasture in the past, as it is in the present, due to its susceptibility to flooding.
