Abstract:		 On 14th to 16th May 2019 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trail trench evaluation at Gravel Farm, Newmarket Road, Stretham ahead of the erection of a dwelling and associated carport, proposed agricultural units and a retrospective application for proposed container storage unit yard, and proposed demolition of a dwelling. The evaluation was undertaken in response to a design brief issued by Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) which required a programme of linear trial trenching to adequately sample the threatened available area. The site had a low potential for remains of the site relating to the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and medieval periods. There was believed to have been a moderate to high potential for remains relating to the Bronze Age and post-medieval periods, and a high potential for finds and features from the Romano-British period. Despite the potential for archaeological features, no features or finds were found relating to the Bronze Age and Romano-British periods. The features found in the evaluation were mostly undated, the only dated feature on the site dates from the late post-medieval to early modern period. The presence of desiccated fen deposit in the north west of the site might suggest that the site would have been fenland until being reclaimed during the post-medieval period and the land being turned over to agriculture.
