Abstract:		 In November 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted an archaeological evaluation at 143 Great Whyte, Ramsey, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2851 8558). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of three new residential dwellings. The Benedictine abbey was founded at Ramsey in the 10th century, but the medieval town does not appear to have attained importance until c.1200 and the Great Whyte is first recorded in the 13th century. In the medieval period the water level rose and late forming peat deposits have been found in parts of the town. At 96-98 Great Whyte, 150m south of the site, the land was reclaimed from the fen edge in the 15th century. A ditch excavated at 30 Great Whyte running towards the stream is suggested as a property boundary, and some late medieval buildings survive along the road. However, an evaluation carried out 100m north of the site uncovered naturally lain sand and gravel with overlying peat, but no archaeological features predating the modern made ground. The site has probably always been undeveloped land and was used as allotments in the late 18th century. The trial trench evaluation revealed a pit and ditch which were modern in date. No other features and finds were present.
