Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Scotsdales Garden Centre, Market Street, Fordham between the 16th and 31st October 2017. The evaluation identified two areas of concentrated activity: late Anglo-Saxon to early medieval pits and ditches focused on Trench 24 in the southern field, and evidence for medieval pitting and/or chalk quarrying focused on Trench 16 in the northern central area. Lithic artefacts and abraded residual Roman pottery sherds retrieved from later features suggest a background activity of prehistoric and Roman occupation in the wider area around the site. Ditches which were part of a late medieval and post-medieval to modern field system were recorded in the northern and southern fields of the evaluation area.
