Abstract: |
In October 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land south of School Road, Risby, Suffolk (NGR: TL 8005 6622). The evaluation was conducted in advance of the submission of a planning application to construct a pre-school with associated access road and 25 residential dwellings. The site is in an area of archaeological importance recorded on the County Historic Environment Record being close to the historic core of Risby, and approximately 180m from the Grade I listed medieval church of St Giles. Roman remains including a prone skeleton, a burnt clay patch, slag and pottery were found beneath the church nave (SHER RBY 024). An evaluation 130m to the west of the site identified three linear features containing medieval pottery (SHER RBY 038). The 1904 OS map shows a structure, a windpump and paths on the site. The evaluation revealed a distinct concentration of 17 features in the northern area of the site adjacent to School Road. Five large pits (F1016, F1018, F1038, F1040 and F1042) and several smaller pits were located within an area defined by a ditch (F1012) and gullies (F1022, F1024 and F1044). Three features were located in the south-western area of the site comprising a large post-medieval boundary ditch (F1004) and two undated pig burials (F1008 and F1010). The features in the northern area were predominantly medieval (12th - 14th). |
