Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by the English First Language School to undertake an archaeological field evaluation at 221 Hills Road, Cambridge, in advance of the construction of an extension to the existing language school. The evaluation consisted of the machine excavation of one 15m long by 1.8m wide trench in an existing courtyard area. The site is located approximately 2.5km south of Cambridge city centre, at the junction of Hills Road and Cavendish Avenue and lies on the West Melbury Marly Chalk Formation, which is overlain by River Terrace Deposits 3 - Sand and Gravel immediately to the north. Iron Age, Roman and medieval remains have all been found in the area surrounding the development. The existing block-paved courtyard surface was removed by hand to reveal a layer of bedding sand that had been laid upon a layer of sub-base/ crushed hardcore. Underlying this was the original topsoil that sealed a subsoil layer overlying natural deposits. The underlying natural geology of the site was shown to be a compact mid silty chalk, indicating that the site sat directly on the West Melbury Marly Chalk Formation, with no overlying River Terrace deposits. The central part of the trench was crossed by two utility trenches, containing a water pipe and an unidentified cable, but was otherwise devoid of any archaeological features or finds.
