Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by a team from Cambridge Archaeological Unit on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council on a 4.53ha site off Melbourne Avenue, Hundred Road, March, Cambridgeshire. The area for the proposed Highways Depot (Area 1) contained a dense cluster of archaeological features on the western side. Many of the features were provisionally dated to the Bronze Age and included at least two watering holes, a complex of inter-cutting pits and ditches, a possible enclosure, and three (Deverel-Rimbury) cremations. Amongst the cluster of features, a ditch containing a horse skeleton was also found and dated to the Romano-British period. The trenches within the area of the proposed Waste Transfer Depot (Area 2) located a truncated field-system of prehistoric (presumed Bronze Age) date and a single four-post structure in the far north-western corner. A right angled Romano-British field-system was found across Area 2 with a substantial axial drainage/boundary ditch that ran parallel to the Fen Causeway. The north-western part of Area 1 also contained part of a complex of horticultural trenches that were oriented perpendicular to the main axis.
