Abstract:		 The investigation demonstrated that the proposed development site lies on March Gravels at the edge of March 'island', with degraded peat deposits, probably Nordelph Peat, occurring along its western edge. The peat overlay a layer of gleyed silt that may be the remnants of the former land surface prior to the onset of peat accumulation. An extensive network of silt-filled channels (roddons) has been mapped on the fenland to the west of the site. On the higher ground, at the edge of March 'island', there is an extensive pattern of ridge and furrow, dating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. Undated cropmarks lie to the north of the site. Within the site, features detected by the geophysical survey were shown by excavation to be related to post-medieval ploughing, modern land drainage and the demolition of modern agricultural buildings.
