Abstract

Between the 28th July and 5th August 2004 the Archaeological Field Unit (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at Melbourn Village College, Cambridgeshire. The work was commissioned by Cambridgeshire County Councils Property and Procurement Division and was carried out in advance of development of the site for a new fitness suite, tennis courts and associated car parking.
Five trenches and a test pit totally 118m in length were excavated within the grounds of the college car park and playing fields. Archaeology was recorded in four trenches including pits, stakeholes and at least two phases of ditches. One ditch was dated to the Roman period, all other features were either undated or post-medieval.
