Abstract:		 In December 2017 and January 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land south of 36 Newmarket Road, Fordham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 6279 6988; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of two new detached dwellings, garages, parking, access and associated works (East Cambs Council Approval Ref. 16/00403/FUL) based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. A few undated features were recorded across the site (Ditches F1016 (Trench 1), F1014 (Trench 2), F1011 (Trench 4) and Pit F1019 (Trench 4)). The principal recorded features were Pits F1005 (Trench 1) and F1006 (Trench 3). These substantial features occupied much of Trench 1, and all of Trench 3. It is possible that the features equate to one large pit i.e. F1005 equals F1006, and the features contained sparse finds of prehistoric pottery, animal bone and burnt flint. It is suggested that these features represent quarry pits, and that the finds of prehistoric pottery are residual. The pits may have served Fordham Abbey, which is located to the south of the site, and was a Gilbertine priory founded before 1227.
