Abstract:		 This report details the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation undertaken in advance of residential development on land west of the Old Rectory, March, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4179 9644). The archaeological fieldwork was carried out between 12th and 14th November 2019. The three trial trenches were within the former grounds of the Old Rectory and contained evidence for activity relating to the construction of the Old Rectory and the associated detached coach house in the 1880s. Finds of clay tobacco pipe in a pit and a treethrow in Trench 3, as well as residual in one of the ditches in Trench 1, suggest a low level of activity on the site during the late 17th/ early 18th centuries. Two perpendicular ditches in the middle of the site (Trench 1) may be field/ plot boundaries from the period before the built-up part of the town expanded eastwards from the High Street in the later 19th century. Other features and deposits, including a brick soakaway in Trench 2 and two quarry pits in Trench 1, were associated with the construction of the Old Rectory and coach house. A single residual late medieval (AD 1300-1450) potsherd was found in one of the ditches in Trench 1.
