Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Sandpit Road, Thorney, Peterborough between the 17th and 21st of August 2015. The work was carried out as a response to a pre-planning enquiry and was designed to provide preliminary information in advance of a potential residential development. Eleven 30m long trenches were excavated across the proposed development site representing an approximate 5% sample of the area. A long curving ditch was identified which appeared to follow the original edge of the surrounding fenland. Limited finds and associated land drains within this feature suggest a probable 19th century origin. A U-shaped feature in the north-east corner of the site appears to be of similar or later date. An undated single small gully located in the north-west corner was found to be on a similar alignment to late 19th or early 20th century land drains and ploughing scars.
