169 - 173 High Street Chesterton, Cambridge: An Archaeological Desktop Assessment.

Abstract

This archaeological desk top assessment was requested by Januarys on behalf of Mr. N. Cook and Mr D. Brown to assess the likely archaeological impact of a proposed development area (PDA) of c. 0.16ha at 169-173 High Street, Chesterton, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Evaluation of the archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the PDA to be located within an area of known archaeological finds and features dating from the prehistoric period to the post-Medieval period, notably quarrying and extraction from these latter two periods.
