Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief has been conducted by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) at Jesus College, Cambridge, between the 1st and the 26th of September, 2011 and then, again later, in March of the following year.

The CAU were also called to the site when the removal/re-laying of an existing path immediately behind/east of the College Chapel revealed a deposit of disarticulated human bone. The disarticulated bone almost certainly derives from a cemetery - either on or close to the site - which has been previously disurbed by works associated with earlier services. It seems likely that the cemetery is that of the Benedictine Nunnery, |
