Trinity College / NAPP Phase I, Cambridge Science Park, Cambridgeshire: An Archaeological Evaluation

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by a team from Cambridge Archaeological Unit on behalf of Trinity (N) Ltd, on a c. 2.5ha site, centred TL 466 620, adjacent to the A14 and A10 on the Cambridge Science Park. The evaluation revealed a single pit of probable Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age date, a small Romano-British ditch, a single posthole and pit of uncertain date, and the remnants of seven furrows. In addition, demolished construction material and fragments of armoured vehicle engine and body components relating to former wartime facilities were uncovered. The results of the evaluation provide limited evidence of later prehistoric and Romano-British activity with extensive disturbance from a fairly modern presence.
