Abstract: |
Bungay, Clays Printing Works (TM 3328 9011; BUN 087) Historical, documentary and SMR (Sites and monuments Record) evidence suggested that within the footprint for a new building at Clays Printing Works Bungay, there was a high potential for Roman and medieval archaeological deposits to be present. These could include a medieval defensive ditch on the north side of the town. However, the results of a trenching evaluation and subsequent monitoring of groundworks failed to identify any archaeological features. It became clear that major earthmoving and landscaping associated with the 19th century railway and its decommissioning during the 1970''s, when a large ?borrow pit was excavated on the site, would have destroyed all but the deepest archaeological features. |
