Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2018 on land east of Spring Lane, Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire. A total of ten trenches were excavated across the 2.59ha site, each measuring 50m by 1.8m. The majority of the trenches revealed no features of archaeological interest; a high level of modern disturbance and bioturbation was evident across the site. Archaeological features were encountered only in trenches 1 and 2 in the form of a series of ditches and a single posthole respectively. The ditches, which with the exception of a large NNE to SSW orientated ditch that produced a single sherd of Roman pottery, were otherwise undated. They are likely to relate to past phases of agricultural land use within the site, possibly representing boundary or enclosure ditches or drainage features. A linear anomaly identified by LiDAR survey appeared to correlate with a ditch investigated at the western end of the trench. Overall, the site appears to be of low archaeological potential, with features of low local significance having been identified only at the western end of the site, in trenches 1 and 2.
