Archaeological investigations conducted on the redevelopment for a car park extension immediately to the east of Babraham Hall Institute (TL 512 505) revealed a yard surface probably associated with a late 18th century property demolished during the 1830s, a 19th century ancillary building, yards and drainage features. A late 19th century drive was evident as an upstanding earthwork, which lead up to the formal entrance of Babraham hall. Evidence of embarkment was indicated by extensive truncation and disturbance, however, the paucity of medieval artefacts and the absence of surviving features provided no in situ evidence of a pre-embarkment village and/or manorial centre.
