Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological trial trenching was undertaken on land adjacent to 1 Main Street, Wentworth, Cambridgeshire. The investigation was commissioned by Mr and Mrs.Atkin in response to a condition attached to full planning permission granted by East Cambridgeshire District Council for development of three new dwellings at the site. The evaluation of the site, recommended by the Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team, was prompted by the high archaeological potential of the site close to the historic core of the village. The objective of the trenching was to assess the potential of the archaeological resource and the likely impact of the proposed development on any significant remains which may be present on the site. Three trenches were excavated, each placed across the footprint of one of the proposed dwellings. No significant archaeological remains were recorded over the western part of the site, where evidence of 19th and 20th century dumping to raise the ground level and a former sewer associated with the existing dwelling at 1 High Street were identified. A group of archaeological features comprising four pits and two ditches was recorded over the eastern part of the site. The features derived from at least two phases of archaeological activity, the earliest containing artefacts of medieval date, with subsequent activity of 16th or 17th century date. Artefacts recovered during the trenching comprised pottery, occasional bone fragments, and items of 19th and 20th century metalwork recovered using a metal detector.
