Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to the construction of a residential development on land east of 7 Irving Burgess Close, Whittlesey, Peterborough. Only half of the total area of the site was available for evaluation as the other half was fenced off and wooded at the time of the work. A single 15m trench was excavated under constant supervision. This was located on a north-south alignment through the centre of the footprint of the proposed building. The trench was excavated to a depth of 0.90m from the surface, at which depth natural sands and gravel were encountered. The excavation also exposed disturbed, mixed subsoil layers containing late 19th-century inclusions. The disturbance and inclusions continued to the depth at which the natural sands were encountered. A single narrow ditch, oriented north-east to south-west, was revealed at the southern end of the trench. This was excavated, recorded and photographed, but no dating evidence was recovered. The fill of the ditch indicated a period of heavy silting, possibly as a result of flooding. No further archaeological finds or features were exposed.
