Abstract:		 Outline planning permission has been granted for residential and employment development of land off Reach Road, Burwell, Cambridgeshire. One of the conditions of the permission related to archaeology and Cambridgeshire County Council's Historic Environment Team issued a brief for an initial stage of archaeological field evaluation comprising trial trenching. Twelve trenches were opened across the site. A low density of archaeological features was revealed across the evaluation area in all but one of the trenches. The features comprised mainly ditches with two clusters of small pits. A small amount of pottery was recovered from three of the ditches. Most of it is medieval in date and, in some cases, more specifically early medieval. The remaining undated ditches had broadly similar fills and alignments to the dated features and to the medieval settlement evidence excavated in an adjacent plot to the east. This suggests that most of the undated ditches within the evaluation are also likely to be medieval in date. In addition to the ditches, two clusters of possible small pits were also revealed. Although no datable artefacts were recovered from them, it is possible that they were also medieval in date because similar clusters of pits were evident in the settlement area to the east.
