Abstract

Ten areas, covering a combined total of 178 square metres, were excavated between November 2005 and August 2006 in advance of development at the Bradwell's Court site, Cambridge. A small but well-preserved part of the Medieval suburb was revealed in which the remains of at least fifteen timber, stone and brick built structures were identified. Originating in the 11th or 12th centuries these buildings, along with the various wells, quarry, refuse and cess pits associated with them, demonstrate that the site has been continuously occupied for at least 900 years. A high degree of archaeological survival was encountered, resulting in a well-stratified sequence that averaged around two metres in depth.
