An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) on the 14th of January 2013 on land adjacent to the Waste Management Centre, Ely Road, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. Commissioned by Bidwells on behalf of AmeyCespa Ltd, the watching brief aimed to establish the presence, date, state of preservation and significance of any archaeological remains in eight geotechnical trial pits. There was no evidence of archaeology in any of these eight pits.
