Abstract
In December 2004, the Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeological Field Unit (CCC AFU) conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land to the rear of Manor Farm House, Fen Drayton in advance of the construction of a new dwelling.
Two trenches were opened, revealing a modern pit and land drain, as well as a possible ditch (which had been recut), which remains undated. This possible ditch is probably medieval or earlier. Beneath the plough soil was a layer of subsoil suggesting that the area was under arable agriculture in the post-medieval and possibly medieval periods.
