Abstract:		 Three evaluation trenches were opened at the Cambridge Heath worksite (located to the E of Brady Street, TQ 3486 8195), while watching briefs were conducted at both that site and the Essex Wharf worksite (on the N side of Durward Street, TQ 3461 8196). In the evaluation trenches on the first site, natural sand and gravel were recorded. In the trench on the W side of the site, foundations associated with the 19th-20th-century Albion Brewery had removed all deposits above the natural. In the central area of the site, natural deposits were overlain by a sandy clay deposit which was cut by a 19th/20th-century artesian well associated with the brewery. On the E side of the site, natural sand was recorded beneath reworked brickearth which was cut by possible quarry pits containing 18th-19th-century material. A subsequent watching brief on drainage works near the N perimeter of the same site exposed naturally reworked brickearth cut by a feature containing undated alluvium, possibly associated with the Common sewer or 'Black Ditch', was exposed in areas adjacent to the projected line of the sewer. A length of this sewer was recorded during previous work under the site code ABR93. The foundations of the Albion Brewery had removed all remains earlier than 18th-century. Modern hardcore and concrete sealed the archaeological layers. A watching brief at the Essex Wharf (Durward Street) site revealed clean natural brickearth. An area of dark brickearth on the W side of the shaft was observed but not excavated. The nature of this deposit is uncertain. Modern deposits and concrete completed the sequence.
