Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated in advance of an application for proposed construction works in the college grounds of Ridley Hall, Cambridge (TL4453 5782).. Archaeology was encountered in all three trenches from the early Neolithic through to the mid-eighteenth century. Prehistoric archaeology was mainly residual or composed of small finds; extensive human activity from the Late Iron Age/Romano-British and Early Roman periods was represented by two large ditches enclosing a cluster of circular pits, all containing high quantities of settlement material. Post-medieval remains included a double-walled linear post structure, foundation deposits associated with the construction of the hall, and built-up ground layers containing substantial artefactual remains. |
