Abstract: |
An architectural and archaeological investigation was undertaken in July 2011 within the Porter's Lodge of Trinity College, Cambridge, in advance of its refurbishment. Two categories of evidence were encountered during the course of this work. Architecturally, several elements of the Great Gate's primary, late 15th century fabric were identified. These included two substantial, clunch-built fireplaces along with two internal doorways. In addition, numerous later additions and alterations to the building's fabric were also recorded. Archaeologically, a range of features and deposits were investigated. In the first instance, associated with the initial construction of the Porter's Lodge in c. 1490 was the footing for an internal dividing wall and an extensive make-up/levelling deposit. Beneath the latter, the rubble-built footing of a timber-framed building was also encountered. This represents a vestige of the final phase of pre-collegiate occupation at the site. |
