Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the demolition of an existing shopping centre, and the creation of a new series of shops at The Centre, Stoke Park Drive, Ipswich, in order to characterise the nature of any surviving archaeological deposits. A desktop study of the area (SCCAS 2006/178) identified that due to the topographical position of the site, there was a high potential for archaeology of all periods, but ground levels were extensively altered during the construction of the original centre in 1969 and as such, surviving archaeology was unlikely. However, the grass verges surrounding the centre were thought to be undisturbed and so trenches through these areas were excavated. Two trenches were excavated over the north and north east of development area, one of which was stripped to the level of the natural subsoil. No archaeological evidence was revealed. Three further trenches were planned but the discovery of a gas pipe through two, and the likelihood of further services in the third meant that these trenches were abandoned. |
