Abstract:		 On the 13th - 14th of January 2020, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Macaulay Avenue, Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire (TL 4648 5278) on behalf of 29 Architecture + Planning, and as part of a planning application (S/2754/19/FL) in advance of the construction of houses. Two trenches were excavated measuring 20.00m x 1.80m The site had a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric and Saxon periods. The potential for features and finds relating to the Roman period was considered to be moderate to high. There was a high potential for features and finds of medieval and post-medieval date particularly relating to the evidence of the medieval town of Great Shelford previously identified just north of the site and evidence of post-medieval cultivation activity identified in the same area. The evaluation was successful in identifying ditches likely representing agricultural activity peripheral to the medieval settlement previously identified to the north of the site. It also identified possible later agricultural activity which might relate to post-medieval cultivation evidence found to the north. Only a single sherd of pottery was found and so the lack of dating evidence makes it difficult to confirm the dating and purposes of most of the features. The lack of artefacts also suggests the site is not immediately close to settlement and domestic activities.
