Abstract: |
During September 2007, Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological evaluation of land at 12A Cameron Road, King''s Hedges, Cambridge (NGR TL 4559 6136) prior to proposed residential redevelopment (Planning ref: 07/0144/FUL). There is abundant evidence of later prehistoric activity in King''s Hedges. The site lies c. 1km south-east of the mid to late Iron Age ringwork at Arbury Camp and Iron Age ditches have been identified less than 100m to the north-west. The site is located c. 300m east of the course of Roman Akeman Street. Excavations along the line of the road have suggested that Roman settlement was concentrated mainly along the east side of the road, with agricultural land use to the west. The site therefore lies in an area of high potential for Iron Age and Roman remains. Cartographic sources indicate that the site was used for agriculture until the mid-20th century, when the current buildings were constructed. The evaluation consisted of a single L-shaped trench on the site of the former Post Office. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were present within the trench. The only features that were present were foundations and a service trench associated with the former Post Office. |
