Abstract:		 Between 8-9th April 2014 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Downing College, Cambridge in advance of the redevelopment of part of the Maintenance Yard. Two 6m long northeast-southwest trenches were dug approximately 5m apart beneath the existing car park as part of an attempt to locate a possible Roman road believed to lie somewhere within this area on the south side of Regent Street. No archaeology was encountered within the easternmost Trench 1, although the underlying marly sand and gravel was reached at a depth of about 1.45m, but in Trench 2 a single shallow NNE-SSW ditch dating most probably to the early-mid 19th century was encountered. From this an assortment of late 17th to early 19th century ceramics, bottle glass, tile and brick were recovered. The ditch was sealed by a 19th century garden soil and also cut by an old tree bole which pre-dated all the late 20th-century redevelopment in this area. No trace of the projected road, or for that matter any trace of Roman pottery was found during the evaluation of this site.
