Cocks and Hens Tennis Club Relocation, Granchester Road, Cambridge: An Archaeological Evaluation

Abstract

Between 14th-16th January 2013 the Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook an archaeological trench evaluation on 3.5 hectares of former agricultural land owned by Trinity College to the west of Grantchester Road, Cambridge, and in advance of a development to re-locate tennis courts and construct a clubhouse and access road. Some 375m of trenching onto the Gault Clay revealed almost no evidence of archaeology, the single feature being a field ditch of unknown date, from which charcoal, but no pottery or other finds were recovered.
