Description
NRHE data transfer:
The site was on fairly level ground on the west bank of the River Cam, at an average height of approximately 54m OD. The underlying geology of the site was chalk capped by superficial Head deposits of clay, silt, sand and gravel. The site was located immediately south-east of the probable location of the medieval Hospital of St Mary and St Leonard. However, no archaeological deposits or features were found and no artefacts were recovered, due to previous ground damage from greenhouses.
