Abstract:		 In July 2015 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation of land east of Berryfield, March, Cambridgeshire PE15 8PN (NGR TL 4227 9847). The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the determination of the planning application for the construction of 30 dwellings (F/YR14/1020/O) based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The evaluation revealed that the density of features varies largely across the site and is greater towards the southern end of the site (Trenches 4, 7 and 8). The range of features comprises postholes (6), pits (12), ditches (19) and gullies (3). A metalled surface (L1059 was recorded in Trench 7. Three possible ponds were recorded (F1158 (Trench 4), F1035 and F1140 (Trench 7)), and three ?ditches/ channels were recorded in Trench 9 (F1081, F1159 and F1161). ?Pond F1158 may have been a constructed waterhole of prehistoric of Roman date. The earliest period represented is prehistoric. Sparse struck flint (some residual) was found in several features (Ditch F1033, Metalled Surface L1059 and Ditch F1100 (all Trench 7). The struck flint includes a thumbnail scraper (from Ditch F1100) and similar utilized flakes indicative of an early Bronze Age, or possibly later prehistoric date. A pebble hammerstone was found in Ditch F1033 (Trench 7). The ceramic dating evidence is sparse. The majority of dated features contained between one and seven sherds, while only Pit F1073 contained a significant group (23 sherds). The pottery is largely Roman but frequently with a broad date range (mid 2nd to 4th century). Highly abraded mid-late Iron Age pottery was recovered from ?Pond F1140 (Trench 7; 1 sherd) and Metalled Surface L1059 (Trench 7; 2 sherds).
