Abstract: |
In December 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed works to the Maintenance Block at Jesus College, Jesus Lane, Cambridge (NGR TL 4510 5905). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for proposed works to the Maintenance Block to erect a small new store building adjacent to the west and to erect a small extension to the existing building (Cambridge City Council Ref. 15/0852/FUL). The evaluation was undertaken based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) requiring a programme of archaeological work. The earliest find from the evaluation is a flake (4g) of struck flint from undated Ditch F1009 (L1011 Segment. A), and it is tentatively be dated to the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. The evaluation identified two ditches located in Trench 1 and these features are directly comparable with the archaeology recorded prior to the construction of the maintenance block. Ditch F1009 was aligned north/south, and was cut by Ditch F1012 which was aligned north west/south east. Ditch F1012 contained Roman pottery. A possible ditch, F1014, was identified in Trench 2 though much of the trench contained modern services. |
