Roman and Medieval Remains at Estover Road, March, Cambridgeshire

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on Land North of Estover Road, March, Cambridgeshire (TL 4251 9813). The fieldwork took place between the 20th and 28th October 2014. A total of fifteen trenches were excavated within the proposed development area, targeting archaeological features suggested from an aerial photograph survey and a geophysical survey.
Several ditches and possible settlement features tentatively dated to the Roman period were present in the west and the south of the site. The settlement features included a ring-ditch towards the centre of the site that is suggested to be a roundhouse.
In the western part of the site, a concentration of east to west aligned enclosure ditches and related settlement features dating to the medieval period may be indicative of possible tofts. A curvilinear ditch in the western part of the site enclosed an area of buried soil that was possibly the result of an occupation horizon.
