Abstract:		 In June 2008, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 101 Fordham Road, Snailwell, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 6359 6823). The construction of B1 industrial units with associated parking and services is proposed. The archaeological investigation complied with planning condition ref: E/07/01158/OUT). The desk-based assessment revealed potential for multi-period remains. Evidence of prehistoric activity in Snailwell was substantial with remains found from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age periods, some of which are within 250m of the site. A considerable amount of Roman occupational evidence, including a possible villa estate, has been identified immediately north of the site. Snailwell was thought to have originated in the late Anglo-Saxon period, with the development of the village (to the south-east of the site) predominantly occurring from the Norman to medieval era. Post-medieval Snailwell remained small in size and cartographic sources indicate that the site remained undeveloped until the mid to late 20th century, possibly employed as agricultural land The current archaeological evaluation revealed no evidence for any of these periods. Two archaeological features were revealed within the three excavated trenches; one modern rubbish pit and a possible field drain. Rooting and tree hollows were prevalent across the site.
