Abstract:		 During September 2009 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land west of 150 Wisbech Road, Littleport, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation revealed a series of close set parallel ditches, orientated NE/SW. The ditches could not be readily traced from trench to trench, however, they were broadly contemporary and part of the same ditch system. Finds were sparse but Late Iron Age (2g; Tr. 2 F1010 L1011) and Roman pottery (2g; Tr.1 F1026 L1027) was recovered. Eastwards, at 98 - 120 Wisbech Road, Littleport, directly comparable ditches have been recorded in a recent evaluation (Bush 2009), and a Romano-British field system has been recorded at Fen Drayton (1995). The ditches were relatively shallow, aligned in close proximity, and regularly spaced. They were likely drainage ditches associated with an arable economy, and may be associated with the growing of vines, fruit trees or even hops (Taylor 1975, 52; Roberts forthcoming).
