Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological trial trenching was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) on Land at Mill Road Depot, Mill Road, Cambridge. The archaeological work was commissioned by Cambridge Investment Partnership in response to an archaeological planning condition attached to the proposed residential development of the site (Planning Reference: 19/0175/FUL). One L-shaped trial trench measuring a total of 29m in length and 2m in width was excavated between 5th and 6th of September 2019. The trench revealed a series of late 19th to early 20th century walls, including a coal cellar and possible fire place. Historic mapping confirms that these are parts of the remains of 'The Limes', a villa built in the mid- 19th century for the Headly brothers who owned The Eagle Foundry in the northern part of the site. The villa was demolished in the early 1960s. The evaluation also revealed extensive truncation to the immediate area. The foundations for 'The Limes' villa truncated a near sterile layer of made ground up to 1.4m thick. It is possible that the area was quarried and levelled prior to and for the construction of the railway, removing any potential earlier archaeological remains.
