Abstract
This archaeological desk based assessment was commissioned by Girton College to assess the potential impact of a proposed development located to the rear of the college (TL 42475 61066). Located to the northwest of the historic centre of Cambridge, the proposed development area is situated adjacent to zones of known significant archaeology, with an Anglo-Saxon cemetery located to the south of the college’s main building and the site of the former Medieval Howes Close settlement is located less than 0.7km to the southeast of the proposed development. Recent excavations to the east of the study area and south of Huntingdon Road have revealed extensive prehistoric, Roman and Medieval activity.
