Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on two days, the 26th August and the 3rd September 2014 on a 0.6ha area of land at 12 Anchor Lane, Lakenheath, Suffolk. The work was completed in response to a Project Brief set by Abby Antrobus fulfilling a condition of planning. One trench was excavated, area totalling 26msq and representing a 2.5% sample of the development area. The site was found to consist of a series of layers representing the sites history following the demolition of the cottages and subsequent levelling of the site. Sealed by the demolition layers were the remains of 19th century brick foundations. This had been infilled with 20th century rubbish, glass, iron objects, tile and china. A single feature relating to the proposed development areas (PDA) past use as dwellings and gardens from the 19th Century were revealed. The feature, a brick building foundation, was located in the southern half of the trench. A primary layer (6) was found extending across the extent of the whole trench. Consisting of a dark homogenous layer of which samples were taken for environmental analysis. This showed that it comprised of charcoal and charred wood fragments which gave an indication of burning possibly relating to the abandonment and destruction of the cottages. |
