Abstract: |
On the 16th February 2021 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation at 212-214 Newmarket Road, Cambridge (546560 258935) (Fig. 1) on behalf of Blues Property Urban 2 Ltd. The archaeological work was undertaken as a condition of planning application 18/1679/FUL. This was to be achieved by excavating three trenches excavated in two phases, one measuring 10.00m x 1.80m in the area of the former car park, and two measuring 7.00m x 1.80m in the area currently occupied by the former shop. Following the results of the initial Trench it was decided by CHET that the subsequent phase 2 trenching would not be required. The site had a low potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric and Romano-British period, and a high potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. No previous archaeological field work has been undertaken on this site and evaluation revealed only two phases of activity within the sites bounds. Overall, the evaluation was successful in identifying remains associated with the former post-medieval use of the site. the evaluation was also successful in identifying the level of truncation that has occurs at the site. While the sample size of the site was small it has allowed a better understanding of the setting of this area in the late post-medieval period. |
