Abstract:
A trench-based evaluation was conducted upon land at Churchill College, Cambridge, in advance of proposed development. Four trenches - covering a combined total of 78 square metres - were excavated, and in each instance a two-part sequence was revealed. At the base, a series of waterlain, anaerobic contexts were present. These were contained within one or more hollows or depressions of probable anthropogenic origin. The resultant pond-like features were most probably associated with the partial draining of the area following the inclosure of the former open fields in 1805. They appear to have been largely infilled during the late 19th century. Subsequently, during the early 1960s a substantial body of made-ground material measuring up to 1.6m in depth was introduced. This latter deposit, which comprehensively sealed the preceding horizon, was associated with landscaping activity undertaken in conjunction with the construction of Churchill College itself.
