Abstract:		 In August 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land to the rear of 27 Kirkgate Street, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire PE13 3GR (NGR TF 4750 1041). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a single 2-storey 3-bed dwelling (Planning Reference Fenland Council Ref. F/YR14/0348/F), based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, within an area of medieval settlement activity which is recorded locally, and in proximity to a Saxon/medieval sea defence work (recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record). The site lies on the line of the Sea Bank, which is a flood defence earthwork of probable medieval date (Cambridgeshire HER 19097), the further extent of which is recorded on the Norfolk Historic Environment Record beyond the Cambridgeshire border. Archaeological investigations at the Bell PH to the immediate north identified deposits of medieval and post-medieval date (HER ECB3711). Investigations by AS at the former Ebenezer Methodist Chapel in 2013 revealed a number of modern features and sparse sherds of medieval pottery only (Thompson and Gorniak 2013). The site thus had a potential for remains of medieval and post-medieval occupation, and for evidence associated with the construction/date of the Sea Bank earthwork. The evaluation trench contained no features, other than a modern pit. Two medieval (13th - 15th century) sherds were found in L1003 and L1004. The trench was some distance from the road frontage and this, in part, may explain the absence of features.
