Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken as a preliminary stage to the proposed re-development of the site. The site was located immediately outside of the defences of the 4th century Roman town of Cambridge, but some projections of the circuit suggested that it may have cut across the north-western corner of the site. Other Roman finds had been made in the vicinity, including a substantial bank immediately to the south. The proximity of the site to the Cambridge Watercourse and the finds of a late Saxon waterfront on the opposite bank of the Cam may have indicated activity of that period. There was little activity in the site area during the medieval period, with the site still fields in 1688. Between 1688 and 1798 a tollhouse was built on or close to the Southwest corner of the site. 19th century extraction for brick making meant that there would be no archaeological remains on the eastern part of the site.
