Abstract: |
Between the 6th and the 9th of August 2019 five test pits were excavated within the Fellows' Garden of Peterhouse College, Cambridge, as part of an archaeological summer school hosted by the college. Two of the test pits encountered structural remains associated with domestic properties that formerly fronted onto Trumpington Street. Of these remains, one structure in particular consisted of a substantial masonry building of probable late fifteenth-century date. The domestic properties were demolished in the mid to late nineteenth century, at which time the Fellows' Garden was also expanded from its original walled location. Made-ground deposits associated with this latter event were identified in two further test pits, beneath which stratified late medieval deposits were encountered. A fifth test pit targeted a high-resistance anomaly detected during a geophysical survey of the site, which was identified as an infilled tree throw. |
