Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 283 Whapload Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk, where planning consent has been granted for the construction of 8 houses. The development site extends to the rear of several adjacent properties. As the development will involve extensive ground disturbance, planning consent was granted on the condition that a programme of archaeological work be implemented prior to the commencement of construction work. An archaeological evaluation of the application area was required as the first part of that programme, and decisions on the need for, and scope of, any further work will be based upon the results of the evaluation, as described herein. Five archaeological trial trenches were opened, which revealed a small number of post-holes or shallow pits and a stake-hole of possible late medieval to post-medieval date and two modern brick wells. The information recovered does not indicate particularly extensive past use of the site, although more modern development, particularly along the street frontage may have obliterated or obscured any evidence that may have been present. |
