Wescott House, Jesus Lane, Cambridge. Library Development. An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment.


Change log

Abstract

This archaeological desk based assessment was commissioned by Phelan Architects to assess the potential impact of a proposed development of new library and teaching facilities at Westcott House, Cambridge (TL 4513 5874). Evaluation of selected archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the proposed development area (PDA) to be located within an area of rich historical and architectural significance, dating from the Iron Age to the present day. There exists a reasonable possibility of encountering artefacts and features pre-dating and contemporary to former and current buildings and also relating to known archaeological features found immediately west of Westcott House.
