Abstract: |
In May 2009 and in February 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of detailed archaeological monitoring and recording at 28 George Street, Hadleigh, Suffolk (NGR TM 0283 4238), during internal alterations to the residential property. The alterations consisted of new drainage and the lowering of the floor levels in the N-S range of the building (Planning Ref: 07/00281/LBC/MC). The site had a moderate to high potential for Saxon burial activity and high potential for medieval activity predating and contemporary with the 15th century AD building. There was also a high potential for post-medieval remains. Four features were recorded during the monitoring. Pits F1002 and F2006, Trench F2004 and a brick-lined well, M2010. A possible rammed earth floor, L2003 (=L1007) was also present. Pits F1002 and F2006 both contained a layer of Fe slag and exhibited evidence of in situ burning. The pits cut the possible rammed earth floor surface L2003 (=L1007) which was post-medieval. Trench F2004 contained large quantities of post-medieval CBM. Its purpose was unclear. Well F2010 was only partially exposed and was capped. It was post-medieval or modern. The monitoring revealed no Saxon or medieval features. During a site visit prior to the monitoring and recording four abraded early post-medieval sherds and three pieces of slag were collected. |
