Abstract:		 In April 2020 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land north west of 11 Bridge Road, Mepal, Cambridgeshire CB6 2AR (NGR TL 44123 81269; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in accordance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a bungalow, garage and new access (East Cambs District Council Approval Ref. S19/01005/OUT). It was required based on the advice of the Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The site is located within an area of archaeological potential, with remains recorded on the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (CHER). It is within the area of the shrunken village settlement area of Mepal. Earthworks of the former extent of the larger settlement lie close by to the south (CHER 05831). The New Bedford River/Hundred Foot Drain is close by to the north west, and dates from the fen drainage in the 17th century (CHER MCB23934). Bridge Road which crosses the waterway dates to at least the 17th century and perhaps earlier. The evaluation revealed modern Modern (19th - 20th century) features and made ground layers likely relating to the former Grove Farm. An undated ditch was recorded and predated the modern features. It was not possible to determine whether this ditch was associated with the late Iron Age - early Roman activity known on the opposite side of the road.
