Anglo-Saxon Settlement at Newnham. Institute of Criminology, Sidgwick Site, University of Cambridge

This study reports the results of an archaeological excavation commissioned by Cambridge University Estates Management Services in advance of the construction of the new Institute of Criminology building on the University's Sidgwick campus (TL 4428 5812). The fieldwork was conducted from the 16th to the 24th of July 2002 and focused on the footprint of the new building. The excavation does not so much document a pristine Anglo-Saxon settlement, but a last chance appearance of a long suspected ancient settlement presence at this locale
