Abstract:		 A trial trench based archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on land Gaul Road, March, Cambridgeshire (centred on TL 4079 9661) in November 2011. The proposed development area (PDA) comprises a 1.4ha plot to the south of Gaul Road. The trial trenching programme comprised seven trenches (totalling 234m of trenching). Ten features - four of which were definitely archaeological in origin - were excavated and recorded at the site, with a further six possible features identified and planned following the extension of two of the trenches in the vicinity of identified archaeological features. Only one feature, an Early Neolithic pit could be securely dated. The pit contained sherds of Mildenhall style Early Neolithic pottery and a small assemblage of worked flint and animal bone. A series of topsoil-filled linear features occurring across the site were clearly associated with post-medieval agriculture and appear to be related to either drainage or cultivation. Although the recorded archaeological features were relatively few and only one could be confidently dated, the results of the evaluation are significant and indicate the potential for further archaeological remains being present at the site. The site - along with the two nearby flint scatters to the north-west - appears to form part of a zone of Early Neolithic activity in the vicinity of Gaul Road, which is the only known site of this period on the March 'island'.
