Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations undertaken at Babraham Hall revealed a number of gravel extraction pits infilled with domestic refuse of 1st/2nd century AD date, which suggested Roman settlement within the vicinity. Other discoveries included silted-up river channels of post-medieval date, an associated 'hard' surface indicating that the River Granta was 'worked', utilised as a means of transportation and supplying water for mills, irrigation and pasture.
