Abstract:		 The report presents the findings of an archaeological watching brief. Two flood-protection ditches, Padholme Drain and Parish Drain, were re-cut to increase their drainage capacity. The newly-exposed sections were recorded. The stratigraphical sequences and features revealed are discussed, and conclusions drawn, in the context of the archaeology and environmental history of the area. The work carried out during this small project contributes further information to our understanding of the formation and use of the Fengate and Flag Fen area in prehistory. Site 1, the Padholme Flood Protection Drain, provides a detailed stratigraphical sequence for the formation of the fen in the heart of Flag Fen between Fengate and Whittlesea Island. Site 2, The Parish Drain, provides further information regarding the form of the Middle Bronze Age droveway and Iron Age features in the Elliot and Cat's Water sites, by the late Fen edge. This includes a detailed section through this area of considerable prehistoric human activity, providing further information about the formation of the land surfaces, and human responses to this, right on the cusp of the transforming Fen edge.
