Abstract:		 In February 2006 Archaeological Solutions conducted an evaluation of land to the rear of 25 Broad Street, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5436 7993), on behalf of Freshwater Estates (UK) Ltd. Broad Street lies within the historic core of the medieval city, near the cathedral, to the south-east of Ely's modern centre and runs north-east to south-west parallel to the River Ouse. Trenches 1 and 4 revealed deeply stratified alluvial deposits, while Trenches 2 and 3 revealed evidence for Saxo-Norman and medieval occupation founded on more stable colluvial deposits, suggesting that the southern half of the site encompassed a large channel which remained open until the latter part of the medieval period. Trench 1 was truncated by a Victorian brick sewer pipe. Surviving beneath the pipe trench archaeological remains comprised several dump/midden deposits sealing a sequence of alluvial deposits. Trench 2 revealed back plots dating from the 10th-12th century in the form of two gully boundaries and a large refuse pit all of which truncated an earlier 10th-12th century clay floor. Trench 3 produced evidence for a 17th-18th century outbuilding comprising possible post-pads, floor surfaces and demolition material. Remains of an 18th century brick wall foundation were also uncovered. Beneath these remains were medieval midden deposits, truncated by a substantial ditch which did not respect the alignment of Broad Street. Trench 4 contained a large amount of 'backyard' deposition overlaying a compacted limestone floor/consolidation layer. Overlying this layer were possible metal working residues, and associated pitting.
