Archaeological Investigations at Marshalls Ground Running Enclosure, Cambridge International Airport, Cambridgeshire, Evaluation

Abstract

Archaeological evaluation and Strip, Map and Sample excavation was carried out by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit at Cambridge Airport ahead of the construction of a new Ground Running Enclosure between March and August 2018. Archaeological remains comprised a large periglacial hollow that saw a limited amount of utilisation in the Late Bronze Age, as well as a number of ditches and pits, which relate to a Middle Iron Age farmstead. Later activity was largely restricted to Medieval and Post-Medieval agriculture and field boundaries.
