Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology Ltd conducted an evaluation on land proposed for the construction of a Wind Farm at Wryde Croft and Nutsgrove Farm, Thorney, Peterborough, in order to provide further information on its archaeological potential. The work was commissioned by RES UK and Ireland Developments Limited. A total of forty-six trenches were excavated (seven trenches at Wryde Croft, thirty-eight trenches on Nutsgrove Farm, and one on the adjoining track way) within the Development Area (DA). Trenching revealed evidence for Romano-British occupation related to a series of enclosures identified by cropmark study within the Wryde Croft area. Post-medieval and modern drainage systems were also identified across the DA. These finds support the idea that the higher ground was suitable for settlement in the Roman period. The identification of post-medieval and modern drainage ditches within the lower ground at Nutsgrove Farm matches the layouts shown on historic mapping of 1731-1732 and confirms the large scale drainage undertaken at that time. The Roman and post-medieval remains are considered to be of medium and low significance respectively. Although they have some potential to add to our understanding of the archaeology of these periods, further work is considered unlikely to yield additional information.
