Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out Archers Farm, Little Waldingfield as a condition of planning consent. The development included the conversion of former agricultural buildings, a new dwelling, on the site of the former farmhouse and extensive landscape work. The site contained a range of former farm buildings associated with Archers Farmhouse. The farmhouse was virtually destroyed by fire a few years ago, but was a Grade II Listed building of eighteenth century date or earlier with later additions (LBS No. 278126). Archaeologically significant concentrations of pottery fragments and metal objects had been located within a half kilometre radius of the site; the items covered a wide range of dates from prehistoric to the medieval period. The site was visited on three occasions, in order to examine all phases of ground disturbance. This included footings for the restoration of a timber-framed farm building, an extensive area of ground reduction on the site of the former farmhouse, pond excavation, access road provision and the excavation of garage footings. However, the site only produced evidence of post-medieval activity, mainly from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, probably associated with the more recent working life of the farm. [Au] |
