Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land off Cromwell Road, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire as the area was archaeologically sensitive. The trial trenches revealed a sequence of alluvial deposits typical of the region. Two undated gullies were revealed, which are probably the result of post-medieval agricultural activity. A group of undated ditches in the west side of the site do not appear on early maps of the area, but two out of the three respect the alignment of the field system and probably formed part of it. A post-medieval ditch was revealed in the centre of the site. This was identified on two 18th century field maps, but had gone by the time of the first Ordnance Survey map of 1886. It is possible that it was filled at the same time as drainage works were undertaken in the area. Two post-medieval ditches were revealed in Trench 1. These were not aligned to the existing field system, but they did run parallel to the former route of Redmoor Lane. A quantity of post-medieval brick, tile and pottery was recovered from the post- medieval ditches identified on the site.
