Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay in the core of the upper Roman town within Cambridge. Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and medieval activity had been recorded in the surrounding area. During the evaluation, severely truncated features were revealed which included medieval and later pits, most of which were interpreted as quarry pits. Two cess pits and a linear feature containing pottery of Romano-British to medieval date were also observed, and a short length of 19th century wall foundation associated with a cottage which had stood on the site until the 1960s was noted. It was concluded that other areas of the proposed development were also likely to have been truncated. [AIP] |
