Archaeological Scoping Study CAMBRIDGE EAST

Résumé 0

The Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) has been commissioned by Marshall to scope the potential impact on archaeological and heritage assets of proposed development of land at Cambridge Airport and to the northeast of Teversham. This report first outlines the relevant current policy before collating the archaeological and historical evidence, including historic mapping, in order to provide a baseline for assessment. Also included is an Aerial Photographic Assessment commissioned for this study and undertaken by Air Photo Services Ltd. The significance of known/recorded archaeological sites within the PDA is then assessed and areas of ‘archaeological risk’ within the PDA boundary, identified and characterised. The assessment has identified 21 heritage assets within the PDA, of which two are designated heritage assets (both listed buildings). Based on significance and preservation potential, nine are classified as representing sites of archaeological risk within the PDA, whilst four broader areas/zones of increased archaeological risk have also been identified.
