Abstract: |
Evaluation trenching (total 582 sq. m) in response to a condition upon planning permission revealed evidence of 19th and 20th century terracing, ground levelling and gravel extraction, as well as considerable petrochemical contamination of large parts of the site. This was undoubtedly associated with the Charrington Oil Depot and its railway branch line and had considerably reduced the potential for archaeological survival across the site. In the area to the south of the former oil depot, however, undisturbed features and deposits survived which were indicative of prehistoric or Romano-British field systems. These were discussed in relation to evidence of agricultural or horticultural practice identified recently at the nearby Brooklands Avenue, and in terms of the wider field systems in the southern hinterland of the Roman settlement at Cambridge.
