Abstract:		 In May 2020 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Appleyard Farm (South), 1 Houghtons Lane, Isleham, Cambridgeshire CB7 5SR (NGR TL 6516 7442; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of five new dwellings, garaging, access, parking and associated works following demolition of existing agricultural barns (East Cambs Council Approval Ref.19/01178/OUT), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. An evaluation of the adjacent part of the farm was undertaken in 2018 (Collins et al 2018; ECB 5445). It revealed structural remains at the northern end of the site, which correlate with the former dwellings depicted on the cartographic sources. To the rear of the buildings, the former field was found to contain a large, shallow, slightly irregular pit, which may have been derived from clunch extraction. Though undated the pit is likely to be of some antiquity as it was overlain by deep subsoil deposits. It may be broadly contemporary with the medieval features associated with roadside activity and possible domestic occupation on the north side of Houghtons Lane (Thomelius 2018), or older still. The current evaluation revealed undated features, a post hole, pits and ditches, in each trench. Pit F1033 (Trench 3) contained a crumb (<1g) of medieval (11th - 14th century) pottery. Ditches F1022, F1024, and F1026 are on the same alignment as the current plot boundaries and may represent former boundaries. Ditches F1020 and F1035 were on a different alignment and may be earlier. Like the evaluation to the immediate north (CHER 5445), the pits may represent small scale extraction pits. Whether this was for use in the construction of the farm complex is unknown. All of the features were overlain by the subsoil and are therefore of some antiquity.
