Abstract:		 In November 3013 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Spring Farm, 50 Great Lane. Blackberry Droveway, Reach, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5602 6590). The evaluation was required by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team, as advisors to the Local Planning Authority, prior to the determination of planning for a non-commercial community solar farm (Planning Ref. 13/00634/SCREEN). During the evaluation three ditches were recorded at the higher, drier end of the site (Trenches 1 and 2). F1003 (Trench 1) and F1005 (Trench 2) were roughly pendicular and likely represent the remains of a post-medieval field system. Ditch F1007 may also a represent a field boundary. It contained eight flakes of later Mesolithic and earlier Neolithic date (Flint Report below) but these finds may be residual. Sparse finds of struck flint were found within the topsoil, and like that from Ditch F1007 is earlier Neolithic. Reach is at the northern end of a peninsula jutting into the fen and the northern end of the site extends into the fen. Peat and alluvial deposits were recorded. The fen edge location was a favourable location for early visitors particularly for hunting and fishing, and the sparse prehistoric struck flint found during the evaluation likely relates to this activity.
