Abstract: |
In February 2008 and May 2010 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an evaluation of land west of Turnpike Road, Red Lodge Suffolk (NGR TL 6960 7050). The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed residential development of 295 dwellings. The development will include the dedication of a public open space/heathland. The north-eastern half of the site contained the majority of a square-shaped enclosure (FRK 036), and the south-eastern corner of another (FRK 049). The historic cartographic sources date the two enclosures from at least 1824, the time of the Freckenham parish enclosure map. The features had been removed from the cartographic sources by 1952. The two enclosures are thought to date to the post-medieval period, particularly since the enclosure of warrens by earthwork banks was common in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is probable that the warren existed on the site during the medieval period, possibly from 1248 onwards. Phase 1 of the evaluation (2008) was focused on the south-western sector of the site, which consisted of the land between the enclosures and the caravan park. It comprised 45 trial trenches and revealed natural features and modern rubbish pits. Phase 2 (2010) encompassed the remaining north-eastern sector of the site. The remains of a banked enclosure identified on aerial photograph were recorded. A cluster of pits and itches containing burnt flint were present in the northern sector of the site, and a possible military trench (also identified on the aerial photographs) was present in centre. Dispersed undated gullies, pits and a possible warren were recorded in the southern sector of the site. Parallel bands of gravel, orientated N/S and present in many of the trenches, suggests the possible presence of ridge and furrow. |
