Abstract:		 From the 26th to 28th September 2018, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation on behalf of Dyason Developments Ltd as a condition of outline application (S/4554/17/OL), with all matters reserved apart from access for construction of up to 10 dwelling houses and associated infrastructure and works at 65 Pettitts Lane, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire (TL 3811 6261). The archaeological background for the site suggested that there was a moderate potential for later medieval and post-medieval activity associated with the development of the village, while archaeology relating to all other remaining periods was considered low. The evaluation encountered a single archaeological feature, Ditch 1003, in Trench 1. No finds were recovered but the ditch appears to correlate with an old field boundary visible on the 1887 OS map but is gone by the 1902 OS map. Given this information a likely date for the ditch is late post-medieval and it represents an old boundary from when the site was in use as agricultural land. The small sherds of high medieval pottery indicate the possibility of nearby medieval agricultural activity but might just be residual and brought to the site during manuring or in dumps of post-medieval/modern waste. Despite the moderate potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods, only one feature was found which is likely post-medieval in date.
