Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In July and August 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation of land at Mount Pleasant House, Castle Ward, Cambridge on behalf of St Edmund’s College. The excavation followed a trial trench evaluation (Barlow 2017) and was itself followed by a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording conducted by Archaeological Solutions Ltd during removal of the remaining foundations of Mount Pleasant House between December 2017 and March 2018. The work identified archaeological remains and deposits of Roman and medieval date which accord with what was previously understood about the history of this part of Cambridge. These investigations demonstrated that the site has been subject to significant disturbance in the later post-medieval and early modern periods and that the site may be characterised by the disturbed nature of its deposits. The site may have been subject to 19th or early 20th century investigation to test its suitability for coprolite extraction. It was the location of a garage or engineering works from 1938 to 1955 which also caused significant disturbance. | |||||||||||||||||
