Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In March 2007, Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation of land west of Dartford Road and Phillips Chase and south of Elliot Road, March, Cambridgeshire (TL 4113 9698) in advance of the proposed construction of eight new residential dwellings. Based on spot finds and flint scatters found in the area, the desk-based assessment found potential for archaeology dating between the Mesolithic and Romano-British periods. In the north of the town, extensive evidence of agricultural activity from the late Bronze Age to the Roman period has been discovered. Medieval settlement was located around St Wendreda''s church c.1.5km south-east of the site. The settlement gradually extended northwards in the post-medieval period. 19th and 20th century maps show the site in use as gardens/orchards, with a few small outbuildings. The evaluation revealed twenty archaeological features consisting of eight ditches, five quarry pits, a small pit, one brick-built outhouse with its construction cut, one quarry pit/ditch, two uncategorised features and an area of modern disturbance. Dated features comprise a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit, two medieval ditches, post-medieval quarry pits, a post-medieval ouothouse and two post-medieval tiches. The medieval ditches, dating to AD 1150-1500, constitute interesting evidence of medieval land division in the area, but the small associated finds assemblages do not indicate intensive activity at this time.
