Archaeological Evaluation at the Former Government Offices, Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge

Abstract

Archaeological evaluations undertaken on the previous site of the Government Offices off Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge, recovered some evidence of 1st to 2nd century AD activity of probably agricultural nature, but no direct evidence of nearby settlement. The predominant character of the site was of late medieval and postmedieval land usage with probable ridge and furrow field systems re-worked during the period of enclosure in the early post-medieval period.
