West Cambridge

As well as number of university departments and private research institutions, the site also has residential areas and a restaurant.

[2][3][4] Planning permission has also been granted for the construction of the Civil Engineering Building (CEB) due to be completed in spring 2019.

The area is host to a number of native species, including barn owls, the grey partridge, badgers, grass snakes and various amphibians.

In order to preserve and develop habitats on the site, a number of ponds are maintained and the roofs of some buildings are covered with plants such as sedum.

Some unusual features have also been documented, including a cache of 3rd-century coins and an enclosure containing butchered animal carcasses apparently for some ritualistic purpose.

Finds from this period include spearheads, brooches, coins, pottery and a copper bust of possibly Minerva or Pallas Athena.
