Introduction

Old Foundry Road, Ipswich - IAS1501

Circumstances of excavation

The site was overgrown, waste land which lay on the assumed line of the town defences on the north side of the town. The site, between St Margaret’s Street, to the north-east, and Old Foundry Road, to the south-west was owned by Ipswich Borough Council, which gave permission to the Suffolk Archaeological Unit for this opportunistic research excavation in 1974.

Site constraints

Although the site was flanked by standing buildings, it was possible to cut a 1.5m wide trench, down the centre of the plot on a north-east to south-west alignment, but the depth of excavation (up to 3m) raised health and safety issues. As a result, the lower levels were machine excavated.

Stratigraphic summary

Although the excavation cut across the inner edge of the medieval town ditch, the only features recorded related to its later development and no medieval deposits were encountered.
