This archaeological desk based assessment was commissioned by Savills PLC to assess the potential impact of a proposed development of new postgraduate and additional student accommodation at Newnham College, Cambridge (TL 4410 5770). Evaluation of the archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the PDA to be located within an area of known archaeological finds and features dating from the prehistoric period to the post-Medieval period, with Iron Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon burials found within the college grounds and study area.
