Addenbrooke's N Ward Plant Room and Associated Services. An Archaeological Evaluation and Watching Brief

Abstract

An archaeological watching brief and small scale evaluation was undertaken during site works carried out in advance of the construction of the new N Ward block at Addenbrooke's Hospital. The watching brief took place during the insertion of trenches for both pipes and foundations, whilst the evaluation was carried out within a 10m by 10m area during the digging of a lift shaft and basement. The only archaeological feature found in this was a short section of narrow ditch which could not be dated. Since there was no obvious truncation of the archaeological levels, it seems very unlikely that any significant archaeology is to be found within the footprint of this site.
