Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at West's Garage Site, Newmarket Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4649 5898). Trenching was undertaken in two phases; one pre-demolition of the garage buildings and one post-demolition Deposits revealed within Trenches 1 and 2 consisted of several layers of modern made ground to a maximum thickness of 1.44m; no archaeological features were identified and the made ground sealed the natural geology. The second phase of evaluation consisted of four roughly square trenches located in areas of suitable ground. Archaeological features and associated layers were present in each of the trenches. Trench 3 identified a floor surface and associated clunch wall, as well as two wells and areas of quarry pitting. Further wells were identified in Trenches 5 and 6, both of which showed evidence for being 'capped off' following their disuse. l. The features identified on the site may represent a continuation of the burgage plot system, as identified in previous sites in the area (Newman 2013; Atkins 2012). These plots were commonly split into 'zones' with a primary dwelling at the head of the property, followed by accessory buildings, with the backyards consisting of firstly an area set aside for domestic/craft based activities and then finally an area for horticultural usage at the rear of the property. This is something which is potentially reflected in the evidence provided on the current site.
