Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted during March 2018 in advance of development of the site for housing. The site is located in the historic core of Whittlesey at c. 6.7m AOD, on Oxford Clay formation and March Gravels member geology. Three evaluation trenches measuring 41.6 x 2.0m were opened, focused on the area to be covered by the proposed dwellings. Archaeological features were found to be cut into the natural deposits of mid orange gravel. The evaluation indicated that the site had been heavily pitted from the medieval period onwards, with a small number of probable medieval pits cut by more recent ones of post-medieval and modern date, based on the dating evidence of the pottery recovered from their fills. Some of the larger pits in the area may represent post-medieval gravel extraction pits. Most of the pits were sealed by thick modern deposits. 37 sherds of pottery were recovered, all of which were of Saxo-Norman date or later, along with 9 fragments of animal bone.
