Abstract:		 A single trial trench was excavated at Strath Isla, First Drift, Wothorpe, Peterborough, on the site of a proposed residential redevelopment involving demolition of the existing house and the construction of two new houses. The line of Roman Ermine Street passes to the north of the site and the site lies around 900m north of medieval and post medieval settlement at Wothorpe. The trench revealed natural clay (the Upper Lias) mixed with areas of sandy silt and gravel at around 0.70m below existing ground level. One area of sandy silt had a relatively straight edge on one side suggestive of a medieval furrow but the composition of the deposits was more consistent with a natural origin. The natural was sealed by probable ploughsoil (part of the medieval/post medieval strip system?) which was in turn cut by a stone filled (presumably later post medieval) land drain. The topsoil was 0.3m thick.
