Abstract:		 From the 23rd of October to the 6th of December 2017 Oxford Archaeology East undertook an archaeological evaluation at land south of Barkers Lane, March, Cambridgeshire (TL 4200 9500). A total of 91 trenches were excavated, the majority of which measured 50m in length but which also included a small number of square trenches located over anomalies identified via geophysical survey. Evaluation revealed several field systems on varying alignments across the site that had previously been identified from geophysical survey. In the south-west corner of the site a large Middle Bronze Age enclosure was identified, which probably had an agricultural function given the lack of occupation evidence associated with it. A single Middle Bronze Age well was identified at the northern end of the site that s likely to have been contemporary with at least one of the field systems in the same area. A Middle Iron Age field system was also indicated by the presence of pottery found in ditches in the south-west of the site. One of the field systems in the northern part of the site may tentatively be dated to the Roman period, although the pottery is abraded. In the north-east part of the site, several postholes and pits were identified with fills consisting of peat and burnt material. Briquetage was recovered from a number of these features that is suggestive of salt working, with associated environmental samples supporting the presence of possible industrial activity in this area. Features found in the north-west corner of the site are thought to represent an area of quarry pitting.
