Abstract: |
Between 20th-22nd February 2013 the Cambridge Archaeological Unit CAU) carried out an archaeological trench evaluation consisting of 98m of trenching within a 0.2 ha of grass lawn south of the main buildings at the Cambridge Hospital (Nuffield Health) on Trumpington Road in Cambridge. This work didn't reveal any dateable archaeological features, although two large and intercutting NNE-SSW aligned flat-bottomed ditches were encountered within a trench at the eastern end of the site. Virtually sterile of finds, the absence of any recognisably modern material within their fills suggested that these features pre-dated the Victorian residential and garden development on this side of the Trumpington Road, and instead related to some earlier Medieval - Postmedieval? property or agricultural landscape boundaries. Two other small pits were located that were sterile of finds, and probably pre-modern in date. Nearby a small amount of residual Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age flint was encountered within two pre-modern tree throws. |
