Description
A housing development between South Street and the river Cam involved disturbance below topsoil in some areas only. Trench A was stripped by developers to a depth of 0.5m and excavators dug through the remaining recently deposited material at this depth to reveal onluy natural subsoil. At the eastern end, the stripping had reached the subsoil and revealed three features. Trenches B and C were narrow trenches dug by the developers. The sections were examined and recorded.
