History 

It is known of the existence of slumses in the area from the time of the Roman Empire. The oldest and unobjectionable evidence of occupation of the place, a set of hunting arms, corresponds at the end of the Age of the Bronze, around the year 1000 a. of C. There are still more tests that in the Age of the Iron, a German tribe (Belgics in the text in English) was based in Castle Hill in century I A.C.

The first considerable development of the area began year 40 d.C. Castle Hill made of Cambridge a militarily strategic point, because from that place the Cam river could be watched. Also it was the point of crossing of the Route Winds, that connected Colchester, in Essex, with the cabins in Lincoln, England, and towards the north. This Roman establishment possibly denominated Durolipons.

The establishment continued being a regional center, even 350 years after the Roman occupation, around the year 400 A.C. Still the Roman walls of constructions and ways can be seen in the place.

After the game of the Romans, sajones dominated to the territories of Castle Hill and the environs. Human rest and other objects have been in the area. During the dominion of the Anglo-Saxons, Cambridge benefitted from the good commercial routes to cross marshy lands of the east of England. Nevertheless, around century VII, visitors of the neighboring city of Ely reported the serious loss undergone in the activity of Cambridge. Cambridge appears like Grantebrycge in British Chronicles. This is the oldest reference to a bridge in Cambridge.
