The Archaeology of the Proposed MSA Development M11 Junction 10, Duxford: A Desktop Assessment.

Abstract

This assessment reports the results of archaeological researches in advance of the proposed development of the parcel of land bounded to the north and west by the A505 and the southbound slip road at Junction 10 of the Mil (TL 4500 4400). The work involved a reassessment of aerial photographs, an examination of the county Sites and Monuments Record (S.M.R.) and a literature survey covering relevant reports produced throughout the last decade. An assessment of the maps held by the Cambridge Record Office showed the proposed development area as open fields. An "old gravel pit" was marked at Chuck-a-Bush and a guide post is indicated at the junction of the A505 and Hunt's Road.
