Abstract: |
Between the 8th and the 15th April 2015 Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological excavation in advance of the construction of a pit for a new lift shaft in the basement of Shire Hall, Castle Hill, Cambridge (TL 44545 59290). The trench was surrounded on all sides by the foundation trenches for existing walls in Shire Hall leaving a total undisturbed area of 4m2 to be investigated. Archaeology was present up to 1.78m below the modern basement floor level and 3.21m below the current street level. All of the deposits uncovered under the upper construction layers dated to the early to middle first century AD, with the exception of a single undated ditch at the base of the sequence which may have been earlier. |
