Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of six geotechnical boreholes was undertaken at the Park Street Multi-storey Car Park, Cambridge. Monitoring revealed that within the area of the car park's ground floor level archaeological strata survived beneath the building's foundations. An archaeological sequence between 1.8 and 2.5m in depth was recorded. Beneath a substantial modern levelling deposit, a horizon of Late Medieval/Post-Medieval garden soil was identified, as well as strata which may represent the fills of archaeological features and Late Medieval land reclamation. No surviving archaeological deposits were observed during the monitoring of boreholes within the area of the car park's lower, basement level. |
