University Arms Hotel, Cambridge: An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment.

Abstract

This archaeological desk based assessment was commissioned by John Simpson Architects on behalf of CUA Property Ltd, to assess the potential impact of proposed development on the site of the University Arms Hotel, Regent Street, Cambridge. The site lies in an area of Cambridge that was rural in character until the early 19th century. Stray finds indicate a level of activity in the prehistoric and Roman periods, but at a low level. The basements beneath the hotel mean the likelihood of archaeological survival is very low.
