An archaeological evaluation carried out through a program of test pits and trial trenching at Jones Boatyard St Ives, Cambridgeshire. The test pit survey identified two palaeochannels including a probable former course for the River Great Ouse, whilst the trial trenching revealed a single medium sized pit dated to the Beaker period. The evaluation has provided evidence to suggest the site has only ever been utilised for agricultural purposes and water meadow because of the shifting nature of the river and vulnerability to frequent flooding.
