Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken at the Old Schools, University of Cambridge, Cambridge. Here, beneath the suspended timber floor of one of the ground floor offices, two stone-built wall footings were identified - both of which were medieval in date. The first originally comprised part of the north wall of the southern range of King's College Old Court, which was commenced in 1441. Well-built and substantial in scale, the surviving remnant reveals that the ground floor of this range was partially cellared. The second footing may also have been associated with the earliest phase of King's College, or might alternatively represent a vestige of an earlier, pre-collegiate structure. |
