Abstract: |
In February 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation at the Maintenance Block, Jesus College, Jesus Lane, Cambridge (NGR TL 4510 5905). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a small store building and a small extension to the existing building (Cambridge City Council Ref. 15/0852/FUL). An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the excavation: The earliest find from the evaluation is a flake (4g) of struck flint, from undated Ditch F1009 (L1011 Segment A), which is tentatively dated as late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. The evaluation identified two ditches located in Trench 1 and these features are directly comparable with the archaeology recorded prior to the construction of the maintenance block. Ditch F1009 was aligned north/south, and was cut by Ditch F1012 which was aligned north-west/south-east. Ditch F1012 contained Roman pottery. A possible ditch, F1014, was identified in Trench 2 though much of the trench contained modern services. The features revealed during the excavation accord well with those previously recorded during excavation of the footprint of the existing Maintenance Block and the monitoring of nearby service trenches. The two mid-late Iron Age ditches are on the same alignment as the earlier ditches recorded during the Maintenance Block excavations, while the Roman ditch continued the line of a Roman ditch recorded during monitoring of a nearby service trench. |
