Abstract:		 In response to a planning condition on the construction of a rear extension at Cranbrooke House, Church Street, Somersham, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the groundworks. The site lies adjacent to the designated Scheduled Monument area covering the Bishop of Ely's medieval palace. The line of the moat runs through the gardens of the property, to the south-west of the house, and medieval fishponds lie to the north. Monitoring of the development groundworks revealed a garden soil overlying a mixed subsoil layer, which sat directly on the natural sandy clay. The extension groundworks lay approximately 2.50m to the north-east of the moat and no evidence for activity associated with the palace or with the Saxon or medieval settlement at Somersham was encountered during the course of the present project. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance were observed during the course of this project.
