Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks associated with the installation of a new 33KV underground power cable at Stretham Mere, to the south of Ely. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Freedom Group to carry out the archaeological work in accordance with a brief (HET 2013) and Written Scheme of Investigation (Albion Archaeology 2013) setting out the procedures and methods that would be employed during the project. Few archaeological remains were revealed during the groundworks. Only two nails and a number of other modern metal artefacts, such as aluminium drink cans, were recovered during the metal detecting of the route. The only features revealed were those associated with measures taken to drain the surrounding fields during the post-medieval / modern periods; these comprised ceramic land drains and two large drainage ditches corresponding with dykes marked on OS maps from the late 19th century onwards. Though earlier archaeological remains are known from the wider vicinity of the route, the majority are located on the terrace gravels associated with the River Great Ouse to the north-west of the route. The lack of any such archaeological remains revealed during the groundworks may, at least in part, be a reflection of the fact that, though sandy-gravel deposits were observed within the western half of the route, much of the route lies within an area of heavier clays, sandy silts and peat deposits - essentially marshland up until the 17th century when the process of draining the land was begun.
