Abstract:		 In April 2014 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at 5 - 7 High Street, Earith, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3875 7490) in response to a design brief issued by Cambridgeshire County Council, Historic Environment Team. The work was commissioned to comply with a condition of planning permission in advance of residential development of the site. The evaluation revealed three phases of activity, the first and most recent being the demolition of the early modern buildings that stood on the site before it was turned over to yard use. Demolition Layer 1008 overlay a single course of early modern bricks which formed the remains of one of the previous buildings which comprised the second phase of activity. The final phase is evidenced by a large ditch / moat (1003) that contained medieval pottery and animal bone. This feature is likely associated with the former medieval high street which is assumed to have run on the same course as High Street follows today. Fragments of late medieval brick also suggest building activity in the immediate vicinity of the site. Despite the potential for prehistoric and Roman remains, no finds of features pre dating the medieval period was encountered.
