Abstract:		 In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development on land at 104 High Street, Meldreth, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by strip map and record. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Three north-south oriented ditches, of Saxo-Norman or later date, were revealed during the site strip and samples were excavated. These contained a small quantity of abraded pottery. The ditches were interpreted as a series of field boundaries. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains of any significance may be considered to be Low for all periods. The appraisal of two barns, which are proposed for conversion to dwellings, demonstrated that Barn 1 is a well preserved example of a late post-and-truss built timber framed barn, exhibiting effective use of secondary materials. Barn 2, by contrast, is in relatively poor condition, and has been built from a variety of reclaimed materials from different periods pre-dating the 19th century.
