Abstract:		 In October of 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land North of 4 Fordham Road, Isleham, Cambridgeshire, CB7 5QU (NGR: TL 6418 7358). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of an outline planning approval condition for the proposed development (East Cambridgeshire Council Approval Ref. 18/01482/OUT), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). Features were present in Trenches 1 and 4 - 6, and they were most common in Trench 6. In Trench 5 post holes including the remains of square wooden posts were recorded. The post hole structure, F1018, was relatively recent and likely associated with the farm. It may have been the remains of an enclosure. Trench 7 contained a modern brick soakaway which served the buildings at No.4 Fordham Road. The topsoil and subsoil contained animal burials and the landowner reported that they were derived from the animals kept in the nearby former farm buildings. The majority of the remaining features were pits. Larger pits were recorded in Trenches 1 (F1021 and F1023) and 6 (1039 and F1041). A possible ditch, F1019, was recorded in Trench 4, and two ditch terminals, F1053 and F1055, were recorded in Trench 6. In reality the majority of the features were irregular in plan and profile, and were pits or natural features. The earliest find was the residual struck flint from Topsoil L1000. A Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age sherd was found in Pit F1039 (Trench 6), and two medieval sherds were found in Pit F1057 (Trench 6). Finds were sparse, and Pits F1025 and F1041 contained animal bone (144g and 2g, respectively). The modern features and Pit F1027 (Trench 1) cut the subsoil (L1002), but the other features were present below the subsoil and therefore of some antiquity.
