Abstract:		 On the 24th of August 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of TVR Design Consultancy. The archaeological work was required as a condition of application 19/00799/OUT, for the construction of 2 residential dwellings with associated services and access at Horticultural Site Between 8 and 14 Bridge Road, Mepal (TL 44320 81082) (Fig. 1). A design brief issued by Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET) (Robinson Zeki, L. 17th June 2021) required a programme of linear trial trenching to evaluate the development area which was achieved by excavating two trenches measuring 15.00m x 1.80m (Fig. 4). The site had a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods, particularly evidence of the shrunken medieval village and agricultural practices. There was a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the Iron Age and Roman periods. The potential for features and finds from the early prehistoric period was considered to be low. Despite the above potential no archaeological features or finds were present. The presence of a former agricultural subsoil represents the past use of the site as agricultural land, and the presence of an imported topsoil mixed with modern waste building material indicated that the site has recently been used for other activity causing some minor disturbance.
