Land to Rear of 1 and 3 Cranmer Road and 39 Grange Road, Cambridge

Between the 22nd and the 25th of November 2016 Oxford Archaeology East conducted an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of No's 1 and 3 Cranmer Road and 39 Grange Road, Cambridge. The evaluation was carried out to provide information concerning the potential impact of a development proposal on archaeological remains. To this end three trenches were excavated ranging from 10m to 25m in length for a total length of 50m.
Features of probable late post-medieval/early modern date were found in Trench 3 in the south-east corner of the development area. These consisted of two small pits, a shallow ditch and small gully all cut into a possible levelling deposit overlying the natural. No archaeological evidence was found in Trenches 1 and 2.
