Introduction

Lower Brook Street-Foundation Street, Ipswich - IAS5505

Circumstances of excavation

Redevelopment of the former Rands and Jeckell site, at the junction of Foundation Street and Lower Brook Street, provided an opportunity to sample an area lying at the junction of two important early streets. The site was excavated in 1988 by the Suffolk Archaeological Unit.

Site constraints

The excavation was limited to an area, up to 8m north-south (NE-SW) by 5m east-west (SE-NW), by the redevelopment programme, depth of overburden and cellars along the whole eastern side of the site (which formed the east (SE) side of the excavation). The small area excavated and the lack of finds in many features (11 of the 32) rendered satisfactory interpretation difficult.

Site summary

The majority of the 32 recorded contexts were structural features, relating to a sequence of buildings, constructed on a north-south orientation, probably in the later Saxon and Medieval periods. Middle Saxon evidence was sparse.
