Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation, consisting of a single trench measuring 2.0m by 2.0m in extent, was undertaken within the north range of the Old Schools of the University of Cambridge during late June and early July 2009. Four distinct phases of activity were identified, the first of which was agricultural in nature and appears to date to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Following this, however, the site remained unoccupied until a timber-framed building was constructed during the 11th century. Associated with this structure were a number of refuse pits, along with a probable timber-lined well or cesspit. Domestic occupation then continued until the late 14th century, when the site was cleared in order to allow the construction of University's School of Theology (or Divinity School). Work began on this structure in c.1370, and at least two phases of construction have been identified; the building was completed in c.1400. Finally, later additions and modifications to the structure were also examined, including the foundation of Stephen Wright's Old Schools façade of 1755-58.
