Abstract:		 In July 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Wellbrook Way, Girton, Cambridgeshire. Five trenches were excavated. There is evidence for human activity in the vicinity of the site from the prehistoric period onwards. Twentieth-century Ordnance Survey maps show a cold storage depot building within the site. The evaluation demonstrated that the ground at the site has been truncated down to depths of 0.6m BGL to over 1.4m BGL and then made up with a series of modern deposits. The truncation was down into the level of the natural substrate and no traces of subsoil or topsoil layers remained. This process is likely to have occurred during either the construction or the demolition of the cold storage depot depicted at the site on later twentieth-century cartographic sources. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed and no pre-modern artefacts were present. Any archaeological remains which may once have been present at the site will have been completely removed by the truncation described above and the site is therefore considered to have no potential for surviving archaeological remains.
