| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a major building programme within a college. The college lay immediately beyond the line of the Roman defences of the 'upper town' of Cambridge. Roman burials and pottery had been recorded in the vicinity. During the evaluation, a poorly preserved child inhumation, which was tentatively dated to the Roman period, was found. A small amount of Roman pottery was recovered from later contexts. Evidence of extensive chalk and marl extraction in the northern part of the site indicated that earlier archaeology may have been removed, if present. In the southern part, ridge and furrow was recorded. A probable 14th century ditch was observed, and 14th-15th century pottery was recovered. The range of later material suggested that ploughing had continued until approximately the later 19th century. [Au(adp)] |
