Abstract: |
In March 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 33 Queen Edith's Way, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4704 5564). The evaluation was commissioned by Gibson Developments Ltd and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of 7no 2-bedroom flats with associated access, parking, cycle store, refuse store and landscaping following the demolition of the existing house. It was required in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval (Cambridge City Council Ref. 12/1223/FUL) based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team requiring a programme of archaeological work. The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, where extensive evidence of multi-period landscape activity has been recorded during development of Addenbrooke's Hospital and other works. Evidence of late Bronze Age, Iron Age and early Roman activity is known from the hospital development and sites that have been investigated in the area of Long Road, Robinson Way, Holbrook Road, Glebe Road and Hills Road (Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record Nos CB15770, MCB16078, CB15713 and CB15010), following an enclosure system of Iron Age date being revealed in the 1960s when the hospital was first developed (HER 04800). Iron Age remains have been revealed c.200m north west of the proposed development site in Templemore Close (HER CB15272). The course of the Roman road of the Via Devana runs some 400m to the west, leading between the contemporary settlements on Castle Hill at Cambridge and Colchester. The site thus had a potential for further remains of Bronze Age/Iron Age/Roman date in particular, and to provide further evidence of use of this local multi-period landscape. In the event the evaluation revealed a shallow undated ditch. |
