Abstract:		 In April 2015 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an evaluation of land adjacent to Hill Farm, Fowlmere Road, Foxton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4165 4792). The evaluation was undertaken prior to the determination of planning approval for the construction of 15 affordable dwellings with associated external works and parking (South Cambs. Council Ref. S/2658/14/FL). The evaluation followed a geophysical survey of the site (dated 12/03/2015), also conducted by AS (Baker et al. 2015). The majority of features recorded during the evaluation were linear ditches. A gully (F1003 (Trench 5)) and two perpendicular furrows (F1015 (Trench 3) and F1035 (Trench 1)) were also present. A possible hollow way (F1011) was recorded in Trench 3. Only two discrete features were encountered (undated Pit F1025 (Trench 5) and early modern Pit F1029 (Trench 1). Of particular significance were parallel V-shaped Ditches F1007 and F1017, recorded in Trenches 1 and 2. In Trench 1, these ditches appeared to correspond to the position of a linear positive anomaly identified by the forerunning geophysical survey. However, overall there was a relatively poor correlation between the surveyed anomalies and the exposed archaeology. The orientation of these ditches was similar to a linear cropmark of 'suggested' medieval date to the south-west of the site (CHER 08985). F1007 and F1017 both contained mid to late Iron Age pottery. Ditch F1005 (Trenches 3 and 5) ran broadly perpendicular to Ditches F1007 and F1017. This feature yielded early Roman pottery and displayed a loose correlation to the c. NW-SE line of a linear geophysical anomaly running across much of the site. A section of possible hollow way (F1011) was recorded in Trench 3. The fill of this feature (L1012) contained late Iron Age pottery and was cut by Ditches F1005 and F1013.
