Land Adjacent to 60 Water Street, Chesterton, Cambridge: An Archaeological Evaluation

On April 19th and 20th 1999 the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council carried out and archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to 60, Water Street, Chesterton, Cambridge (TL 468599). The work was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Few-Mackay before the construction of two residential properties. The results from the evaluation revealed 19th century deposits including cultivation soils and redeposited alluvial material which may relate to dredging and management of the River Cam in the 19th century. No features or artefacts earlier than the 19th century were identified within the subject site.
