Abstract: |
An Archaeological Evaluation was carried out at Long Road Sixth Form college, Cambridge between 17th to the 21st February 2014 by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU). The work was commissioned by The Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team and a programme of trial trenching was required to evaluate the land south of the college. The work was undertaken as part of the construction of an all-weather sports pitch. This was in an area of known archaeological interest with sites to the East, North and South revealing Iron Age and Roman enclosures and field systems (Evans, Mackay, Webley 2004). A total of three trenches were excavated with an area of 270 square meters, which revealed seven features. These included five linear ditches and two small pits. Most of the features were on similar alignments to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman field systems/enclosures, as found at the Hutchinson site (excavated by the CAU) to the East. Including two parallel ditches in alignment with the Roman Road. |
