Abstract:		 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at 161 Newmarket Road, Cambridge, in response to a design brief issued by Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET) requiring an archaeological evaluation. This took the form of a 4.00m x 4.00m test pit. The evaluation was successful in revealing 3 phases of archaeology. The first phase relates to medieval activity at the site possibly associated with Barnwell Priory before its dissolution in 1548. Layers encountered near the base of the stratigraphic sequence are likely from a cut feature. Finds within these layers suggests that a structure of some type dating to this period may have been present, either on or within the immediate vicinity of the current site. The second phase of activity is associated with the former 18th Century dwelling present in the excavated area.. The courses of brick work likely denote the extent of a simple cellaring. The building extended beyond the western and southern boundaries of the site but given its survival beneath the subsequent layers of urban activity it isn't unreasonable to conclude that it will have survived in the other areas of the plot. The final phase of activity relates to the mostly modern build-up of the site to its current level. Successive phases of in filling were evidenced through made ground layers. These layers also contained demolition material associated with the structure that stood on the site prior to its use as a garage. This structure can be seen on the 1903 OS map.
