Abstract:		 In March 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land adjacent to 5 Spens Avenue, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. The site is located within a large residential estate to the south-west of the city centre in the South Cambridgeshire district. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the construction of four houses. Desk-based research indicated no known archaeological material from the immediate area of the site. However Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and Medieval material had all been recorded within a 500m of the site. The test trenches revealed the site to be covered in a series of large shallow pits, likely used as quarry pits for the extraction of the underlying sand and gravel deposits. A total of 18 pits were recorded and two of them contained sparse quantities of slightly abraded Romano-British pottery, tentatively suggesting a possible date for the quarrying activity.
