Darwin Green 2 + 3. Cambridgeshire: An Archaelogical Evaluation

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit at Darwin Green 2 and 3, Cambridge (TL 4341 6129) (Figure 1) from 3rd December to 17th December 2018 and from 7th January to 21st March 2019. Five Roman settlements with Iron Age origins were identified in the central fields of the PDA, located along a gravel ridge. Outlying Roman field systems and prehistoric activity were exposed on gault clay to the West. The area has been arable farmland from the Medieval period; evidence of upstanding ridge and furrow, orchards and planting beds spanning the post-medieval period was abundant.
