Abstract:		 Planning application (1200544FUL) for the development of land between 4 and 10 Ermine Street (Plot 1), Great Stukeley, Cambridgeshire has been submitted to Huntingdon District Council. The application proposes the construction of a new single detached house, double garage, access and driveway within the plot, along with the replacement of an existing garage at the adjacent property of Denmark House. Due to the archaeological potential of the site, Cambridgeshire County Council's Historic Environment Team (HET) advised that an archaeological evaluation of the site was required to determine the potential impact of the proposal on archaeological remains. A brief issued by the HET (2012) outlined the requirements for a programme of archaeological investigation of the proposed development site. The trial trenching took place between 8th and 11th October 2013. Three trenches were opened to investigate the footprint of the building. The three trenches all revealed evidence of previous activity on site; the archaeological significance of the remains, however, is limited. The site is bisected by a linear depression, which was investigated in Trench 2. The presence of 19th- / 20th-century artefacts indicates that it was open within the last 200 years. Its exact function is unclear. However, the natural depression in the ground combined with the steeper side of the backfilled ditch suggests a natural channel utilised and cleared out to provide drainage. Contour lines also suggest the ditch lies at a low point in the surrounding countryside. The single posthole in Trench 1 suggests activity during the late Saxon/early medieval period. However, as no further features of this date were revealed, it would appear that settlement activity was not centred on the development area.
