Abstract:		 In August 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of 7 and 7A Townsend, Soham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5900 7424). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 4no dwellings, garaging, parking, access road and associated works (East Cambs Council Approval Ref. 14/01231/OUT), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. The evaluation revealed two medieval ditches whose alignment broadly corresponds with that of the strip fields recorded on the 1656 plan of the manor (Fig.6). They may represent a medieval antecedent for a system of cultivation that was persevered until it was encroached upon by the post-medieval expansion of the town. The ditches contained low quantities of medieval Ely ware pottery, animal bone, oyster shell, and molluscan remains that suggest they were seasonally waterlogged. Other features on the site included a sparse distribution of late post-medieval to early modern field boundaries and pits located in Trenches 2 - 5. A pig burial in Trench 5 that was distinguished by a robust, short-muzzled skeleton with extensive evidence of being fattened is dated to c. 18th century (Animal Bone Report).
