Abstract:		 In August 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Emsid, 22 Old Bank, Prickwillow, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5928 8208; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of two dwellings following the demolition of an existing bungalow (East Cambs Council Approval Ref. 17/00341/FUL). It was undertaken based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. No archaeological features or finds were found during the evaluation. Mechanical excavation across the `old bank' in (Trench 2) revealed a raised chalk ridge (L1007) with alluvial clay (L1003) abutting it on the west. Hand dug auger holes were put down to test the depth of the peat (L1004) and clay deposits (L1003 and L1006) in Trenches 1 and 2, and the nature of the 'old bank' in Trench 2. The deposit sequence comprised a chalk ridge abutted by alluvial clay and fenland peat deposits. The lower part of the peat deposit was well preserved, with waterlogged plant macrofossils observable. It is mostly not under permanent waterlogging, with the water table only encountered in the northern end of Trench 1 at 1.80m in the auger hole (No.3).
