Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at 7 High Street, Balsham Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5881 5060) from the 31st August to the 4th September 2017. The archaeological work was commissioned by Joseph Mulhare of Hill Residential in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of a new residential development with associated access and facilities. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. Features of Earlier Iron Age date, including post-holes and small ditches were identified within Trench 2, 3 and at the eastern end of Trench 4. These were likely to be linked with a small settlement, possibly a farmstead and appeared to be broadly contemporary with the settlement evidence recorded on the CHER to the south-east at Hay Close, Balsham (MCB17783). Several structures, including walls and drains of 19th-century and 20th-century date were recorded in Trench 4, adjacent to Balsham High Street. A building constructed of 'Cambridge' yellow brick appeared to have replaced a red-brick building dated from 1825 to 1925 with an associated chalk-block lined drain. There were no surviving traces of a smithy which was thought to have existed at the north end of the site, or of associated metal-working
