Abstract:		 This report describes the results of a trial trench archaeological evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Water Lane, Cambridge, CB4 1NY (NGR TL 4675 6002) on 14th to 16th April 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Keepmoat in response to a planning condition attached to residential development. The evaluation identified a concentration of archaeological remains in the central and eastern areas of the site. The earliest activity was represented by a cluster of pits and a small curvilinear ditch, all dated to the 12th-14th century. Two undated ditches, broadly perpendicular and parallel with Green End Road, are likely to relate to property boundaries which may be contemporary with Saxo-Norman activity seen in excavations at Union Lane/High Street and at the former Yorkshire Grey Public House. The edge of a large ditch was investigated in Trench 2 which contained several sherds of 15th-16th century pottery may suggest a later phase of activity at this end of the site. A large pit which was partially revealed in Trench 5 is indicative of gravel extraction, possibly of late or post-medieval date. It contained a single sherd of 9th-12th century Thetford ware pottery which is thought to be residual. Examples of such post-medieval extraction pits have been recorded in a number of other sites within Chesterton.
