Abstract:		 In October 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land to the north of Manor Farm, Croydon, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction off a new solar farm and associated works. Evaluation of the cable route revealed undated ditches and gullies in Trenches 1-2, 4, 7A, 7B and 8. Furrows were recorded in Trenches 6 and 7A. Furrows were also identified in the fields to contain solar panels (Trenches 1-70). They were orientated NE/SW and NW/SE and were also recorded as part of the aerial photographic survey. Sparse, undated features, principally pits were recorded across the fields which are to contain the solar panels. Just one pit, F1021 (Trench 27) contained pottery (late 16th to 18th century) and two features contained animal bone (Ditches F1061 (Trench 19) and F1041 (Trench 61)). Some of the pits during the evaluation were thought to be natural (F1013 (Tr.28), F1033 (Tr.39), F1051 (Tr.56) and F1049 (Tr. 58). There was not a good correlation of the geophysical anomalies with the evaluation evidence. Some of the larger ditches were recorded e.g. Trench 61 Ditch F1041 but the dense cluster of significant archaeological anomalies in the north-western sector of the site appear to extend across a larger area. In the north-western sector of the site archaeological features were present and evidently cut by the furrows. It is proposed that this area is preserved in situ and the archaeological features were not excavated but Roman (late 3rd to 4th century) pottery was recovered from the surface. The features comprise pits, ditches and gullies. A small ring ditch or curvilinear gully was evident in Trench 11.
