Abstract:		 In February 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation of land west of 102 Station Road, Soham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5882 7326). The evaluation was commissioned by Andrew Fleet prior to propsed redevelopment of the site into a residential care home with parking, landscaping and attendant services. The evaluation consisted of a desk-based assessment and field evaluation (trial trenching). The desk based assessment suggested that until the mid to late 19th century the site was marginally marshy land that that there are no recorded HER entries withing 200m. There is some evidence for low-level prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and Medieval activity within the general area of Station Road, but closer to the centre of Soham. The Anchor Inn had been constructed in the north-east corner of the site sometime between the late 17th century and 1837, and in the later 19th century to 20th century the marshy land was reclaimed by dumps of earth and rubble. The evaluation revealed that the ground had been wetland, becoming dry enough for a topsoil to form in the late 19th century. The ground was possibly drained as part of the remodelling of the west side of town to accommodate the railway and station in the 1870s. In the 20th cenutry the ground level was raised by the dumping of demolition rubble and hardcore to form a firm, dry yard surface. No archaeological finds or features were present.
