Abstract: |
In June 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological evaluation on land rear of 21 and 28 The New Square, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4563 585). The evaluation was commissioned by DPA Architects Ltd on behalf of Jesus College Developments Ltd in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval to construct eight dwellings (Planning Ref. 12/1443/FUL). The site lies in an area of Cambridge that was developed in the 19th century. The main Saxon and medieval settlement lies further to the west. Recent archaeological investigations have revealed that Saxo-Norman settlement extended further to the east than previously thought; beyond the Kings Ditch into the area of the Grand Arcade and Bradwell's Court. To the northeast investigations have also revealed suburban settlement in the area south of Barnwell Priory. This site was, therefore, thought to have potential for remains of Saxo-Norman and medieval settlement. In the event the evaluation revealed no Saxo-Norman or medieval archaeology. The remains of 19th century buildings depicted on the 1st edition and later OS maps were recorded. |
