Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site, which had a rich historical background. Archaeological deposits were recorded at various depths throughout site, mostly in good condition, despite some post-medieval truncation. Possible prehistoric worked and burnt flint, Roman pottery and tile as well as Early Saxon hand-made pottery were recovered from the site. Early Saxon pottery probably related to the earliest pre-urban phase in the continuous occupation that developed into the town of Ipswich. Middle Saxon, Late Saxon and early medieval features were also widespread throughout the site. The remains of three substantial buildings were identified. Structural features positively attributed to the Priory (1130-1528) were limited to a mortar bedding surface for a tile floor and a length of footing trench. There were a large number of burials, some with a bonded stone (principally septaria) and lime mortar grave linings. Five walls and robbed wall-lines were thought to relate directly to Wolsey's College. Post-medieval features included cellars and walls associated with the more recent commercial/industrial use of the site. A grave was also recorded in an area that had been the location of the Quaker burial ground. [Au(adp)] |
