Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the proposed development area of approximately 140ha, centred on TL 426 603, located within farmland at University Farm, Huntingdon Road, Girton, Cambridge. This work comprised a preliminary phase of evaluation in which twenty 1.80m wide trenches were excavated to a combined length of 968m in order to broadly characterise the nature and survival of archaeological deposits. The area was under agricultural use and consisted of both recently harvested and ploughed fields. A pit containing the near complete remnants of a late Bronze Age pot and two late Bronze Age\Iron Age ditches aligned east-west were excavated towards the south-eastern end of the site. Early Romano-British settlement features associated with an enclosure system and a roadway were uncovered. The roadway had a metalled surface and ran in a NW-SE direction. Medieval and Post Medieval features representing ridge and furrow and former field boundaries were also identified. The extent of post medieval gravel quarrying across the area was found to be more extensive than previously thought although the level of truncation of earlier features varied greatly.
