Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	As part of the assessment of archaeological potential on the site of the Proposed Sports and Leisure Development, Downham Road, Ely (centred on TL 5300 8130), an initial archaeological desk based assessment was commissioned on behalf of East Cambridgeshire District Council. Subsequently the decision was made to initiate detailed pre-determination evaluation consisting of a geophysical survey and trenched evaluation. The results of all three elements are included in the report. The site is located approximately 1.5km west of the centre of Ely. Archival, aerial and cartographic sources demonstrate that the site is located in an area with known archaeology, including early prehistoric Iron Age, Roman and Saxon activity, and extensive medieval and later agricultural features. Geophysical survey indicated the presence of some archaeological features, although the site was dominated by the ploughed out remains of ridge and furrow agriculture. The trenching programme demonstrated that masked beneath this, particularly in the southern part of the site, was evidence of Middle Saxon occupation with associated field systems with a background presence of Iron Age and Romano-British activity. The north area predominantly contained medieval ridge and furrows in addition to a few undated linear features.
