Abstract:		 Planning permission for the construction of a dwelling and garage to the rear of 7 London Road, Godmanchester has been granted by Huntingdonshire District Council. The trial trench evaluation has demonstrated that archaeological remains dating to the Roman and medieval periods survive within the proposed development site. Evidence of Roman activity was revealed in Trenches 2 and 3, in the form of a large pit in Trench 3 and several artefacts within the subsoil in both trenches that included wall plaster, vessel glass and pottery sherds dating to the 2nd - early 3rd centuries AD. The number and range of Roman artefacts present within the pit and subsoil suggest the presence of further settlement activity in the vicinity, which is perhaps unsurprising given the proximity of the Roman town and Ermine Street. Evidence of such activity is of interest in light of regional research themes relating to our understanding of Roman towns and in particular the relationships between the town and its hinterland (Medlycott 2011, 48). The Roman pit was overlain by a layer of buried soil also containing a sherd of Roman pottery. Similar deposits in Trenches 1 and 2 were truncated by a medieval pit, as well as a ditch and possible pit of unknown date, suggesting the potential for further activity of medieval date in the vicinity. The depth at which the archaeological features were revealed, in particular that of the Roman pit which lay at c. 0.75m below ground level and beneath a buried soil, suggests that any further archaeological remains in the immediate vicinity are likely to be well preserved.
