Barton Road North, Cambridge. Archaeological Desktop Assessment.

Abstract

This archaeological desktop assessment has been commissioned by Ashwell Property Group PLC in relation to proposed development plans for the Barton North area. The area comprises just under 320 hectares on the west side of the City of Cambridge, straddling the M11 motorway. This includes 101 hectares owned by the Cambridge Preservation Society, mainly to the west of the motorway, but also to the east between the subject site and the Cambridge University West Road campus. The principal objective of the document is to examine the potential of archaeology occurring within the subject site and to examine the significance of any such remains. The study sets the findings in the context of the relevant legislation, both national and local.
