Abstract:
In July 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at 7-9 Abbey Street, Cambridge CB1 2QP (NGR TL 4625 5881). The evaluation was commissioned by Highgrove Partnership LLP and undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the construction of 24 studio apartments and associated ancillary works (Planning Ref. 11/1430/FUL). An archaeological desk-based assessment has been completed (Newman 2011). The site is located within an area of historical and architectural significance, with extant structural remains in the vicinity dating from the 13th century to the present. In particular the site is situated within the core of the medieval village of Barnwell, which flourished as a lay settlement associated with nearby Barnwell Priory during the 12th - 15th centuries. The possibility of earlier prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon activity also cannot be discounted. Extensive early 19th century gravel quarrying is known to have been undertaken in the vicinity, and by 1830 a series of domestic properties had also been constructed at the site. This indicates that the potential for post-medieval truncation of the deposits is relatively high. Furthermore from the mid 20th century onwards the residential housing in this area was gradually replaced by commercial properties. In the event the evaluation revealed post-medieval and modern made ground and features.
