An Archaeological Evaluation along the Marconi Access Route and Future Nano Fabrication Building ( West Cambridge 3)

Abstract

Archaeological evaluation along the route of an access road for the Marconi Building and within the area of the future Nano Fabrication Building on the Cavendish Site, was conducted by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit to assess the presence and extent of any archaeological remains. Along the Marconi Access route, only a single feature was found, a ditch that probably forms part of the edge of the Roman system discovered at the Vicars Farm site. On the site of the Nano Fabrication Building, low level Iron Age activity was revealed in the form of a ditch length and a single pit, which appear to be associated with a spread of Iron Age settlement in this area, centred at High Cross.
