An Archaeological Evaluation at the Former Princess of Wales RAF Hospital, Ely

In May 1994, the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council undertook an archaeological assessment at the site of the former Princess of Wales RAF Hospital, Ely. A series of trenches and small test stations were excavated across the site to test for the presence of archaeological remains. These were located between existing hospital buildings and in open, grassland areas, but were severely restricted by the large number of services across the site. No archaeological features or artefacts were discovered. Building rubble was encountered in many areas and it is likely that any archaeology at the site was disturbed during the construction of the RAF hospital.
