Abstract: |
On the 16th July to the 1st August 2018, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation (TL 4633 5892) at 122 - 128 Newmarket Road, Cambridge, on behalf of Ninja Theory Ltd and Learig (Cambridge) Ltd. Due to onsite constraints this took the form of four 3.00m x 3.00m and a single 4.00m x 4.00m test pits. The evaluation was successful in revealing 3 phases of archaeology. The first phase relates to medieval activity. A pit likely representing domestic waste activity was encountered in the eastern portion of the site. It would not be unreasonable to assume that further associated features would be present close to this feature and in a comparable state of preservation. The second phase of activity is associated with a former subsoil. This phase, broadly dating to the post medieval period represents the change in the use of the site for minor agriculture before its eventual development in the final phase. The final phase of activity relates to the mostly modern build-up of the site to its current level. Successive phases of in filling were evidenced through made ground layers 1002 and 1003. These layers also formed the foundation for the current yard surface which serviced the former public house and shop to the north of the site. Overall the evaluation was successful in assessing the survival of archaeological remains at the site. The project has identified clear medieval occupation of the site as well as the full extent of modern truncation. |
