Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, comprising aerial photograph transcription and reassessment, geoarchaeological borehole survey and trial trenching was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Weirs Drove, Burwell, Cambridgeshire. The investigations identified a paleochannel, shown in the air photographic assessment. Upon excavation this paleochannel was extremely sterile, suggesting it was not of archaeological date. The evaluation uncovered small ditches in the south of the site (Trenches 8 and 9). The ditches did not produce datable finds assemblage, their size and form suggest they functioned to drain the area. Two further diches within Trench 2, in the north-west of the site were similar in size to those in Trenches 9 and 9, but were parallel to each other, possibly suggesting they represent a droveway. These features were also undated. The east of the site contained a small number of natural features. Trench 1, in the north-west corner of the site was the only trench which contained any deposits apart from topsoil, which comprised a desiccated peaty layer, probably associated with Weirs Drove itself.
