Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Witham Archaeology at Splash Lane, Castor, Peterborough. The project was commissioned by Country Court Care in compliance with a condition of planning permission relating to the proposed construction of a new care home facility. The site is currently occupied by a disused sports centre and associated parking areas. The site lies within an archaeologically sensitive area, on the outskirts of the modern village of Castor which overlies a high-status Roman building which is protected as a nationally important Scheduled Monument. The site of the Roman town of Durobrivae lies immediately to the south of the site and is also a Scheduled Monument. Previous archaeological investigations undertaken in advance of the construction of the sports centre recorded extensive Roman remains including two aisled barns thought to have been associated with the high-status building. The six trenches excavated as part of the current project revealed that the site was probably heavily truncated during previous episodes of construction. Residual Roman brick and tile was found alongside modern bricks and plastic bags within a layer used to backfill a depression which extended across the entire area of investigation. It seems likely that the area was truncated during previous groundworks on the site, probably during construction of the disused Woodlands Sports Centre.
