Abstract:		 In March 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at The Cottage, Fen Road, Pidley, Cambridgeshire PE28 2DD (NGR TL 3280 7821). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 3no residential dwellings (Huntingdonshire District Council Approval Ref. 17/00358/OUT), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. Medieval settlement at Pidley was centred on two areas, one around the parish church and the other further south adjacent to High Street. The church of All Saints located 65m north-west of the site is Victorian, but incorporates much stonework from its medieval predecessor (CHER 03560). Fields to the north and south of the site contain medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow (CHER MCB24655, CHER MCB24656). The residence located on the site which fronts Fen Road, is the former Royal Oak beer house depicted on the 1st edition Huntingdonshire Ordnance Survey map (CHER MCB24653); other buildings in the vicinity are also shown on the map. An archaeological evaluation 80m to the west revealed a possible late medieval/early post-medieval cobbled surface/trackway and small rubbish pits (CHER CB14634). The evaluation revealed two ditches (F1003 and F1005) of post-medieval / modern origin. Despite the presence of medieval (12th-13th century) pottery, Ditch F1005 cut buried post-medieval topsoil L1001 and contained modern CBM, coal and clinker. The site has been sealed by a layer of imported fen soil (L1000) which now forms the modern topsoil.
