Abstract:		 Over the Friday to Sunday of the 7th-9th September 2018 a community-based excavation was undertaken in the back garden of 186 Gwydir Street, Cambridge, also known as the David Parr House. A total of 16 small archaeological test pits were excavated in a grid formation across the back garden by 47 local volunteers. The test pitting was organised by staff at David Parr House in conjunction with Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA) and the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (formally the Heritage Lottery Fund). The results showed evidence of occupation relating to the Parr family from the late 19th century onwards, around the time when the house was first built, including numerous personal objects, such as coins and buttons, as well as toys and partial pet burials. Prior to the construction of Gwydir Street, this area around Mill Road was open fields, situated to the east of the historic core of Cambridge. Relatively low levels of Late Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post medieval pottery were also all recorded in the garden, representing the agricultural manuring of the fields, rather than occupation. A scatter of lithics were also identified, potentially dating to the later prehistoric and no evidence for Romano-British activity was found.
