Abstract:
A trench-based evaluation, consisting of three trenches covering a combined area of 70.7 square metres, was conducted at the Judge Business School site. The earliest feature to be encountered comprised a substantial - though undated - linear, which may have formed part of an enclosure. This was subsequently overlain by a series of regular west-southwest to east-northeast aligned inhumation burials, laid out in discernible rows. Stratigraphic evidence indicates that this cemetery is 14th century or earlier in origin. It was therefore most probably associated with the medieval proprietary chapel of St. Edmund, which is known to have been situated in this general vicinity. In 1290 the chapel was alienated to the Gilbertines and became the Priory of St. Edmund, which served a collegiate function for brethren of the Order who were studying at the newly-founded University of Cambridge. Burials may also have continued during this period. Although a small number of non-sepulchral features of medieval date were identified during the evaluation, their quantity was not commensurate with long-lived domestic occupation. Instead, it appears most likely that the trenches were located within the former monastic precinct. The priory was dissolved in 1538 and the area returned to secular use, although no archaeological features pertaining to this period were identified. Subsequently, however, in the 1760s, Addenbrooke's Hospital was established at the site. Concomitant with its construction a series of gravel quarries were excavated, disturbing the earlier horizon of burials, and a long-lived sequence of landscaping deposits was formed.
