Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of proposed development at 103-107 Grantchester Meadows. Three test pits were excavated to maximum depth revealing the presence of deeply stratified quarry backfill deposits that were judged to be of a pre-19th century date. Historic cartography and local information demonstrates that there was extensive quarrying on the western side of Newnham Croft prior to the extensive building of houses during the 19th and early 20th centuries |
