Land Around Homerton Street, Cambridge: An Archaeological Desktop Assessment

Abstract

A desk based assessment was carried out on land surrounding Homerton Street, Cambridge. The findings indicate that archaeology from the Roman period is most likely to be found on the site. Excavation carried out to the south earlier in the century suggest that the original route of the Via Devana, the principal route into Roman Cambridge from the south, may run across the proposed redevelopment area. The potential for significant contribution to studies of Roman Cambridge’s hinterland is high.
