Archaeological Investigations at Wellbrook Way, Girton

On the 22nd May 2000 the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridge County Council undertook a basic archaeological investigation on a small area of land (c. 500sq.m.) located to the south of the core of the village of Girton, to the east of the main roads into the village (TL 4265 6128). The work was commissioned by Bidwells on behalf of the Girton Road Investment Partnership, in advance of the construction of an access road. The investigation was undertaken by A. Hatton in accordance with an AFU specification dated 27th April 2000 and approved by A. Thomas of the County Council Archaeology Office. The Background research indicated the possibility that archaeological remains would be present within the area of the investigation. However, this was found not to be the case. The absence of archaeological features may be indicate a lack of activity, in the past, which has had an impact on the subsoil or natural geology. Alternatively any remains may have been destroyed by industrial development.
