Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted by NPS Archaeology on behalf of R G Boyce Ltd during May 2012 ahead of an application for planning permission to construct two new poultry barns and replace five existing barns at Leys Farm, Lidgate in Suffolk Fifteen trenches, measuring between 15m and 30m in length and 1.6m wide were excavated within the footprint of the proposed development (five trenches were foreshortened due to the presence of live electricity cables and a propane gas pipeline). The results were negative indicating that there is a high probability that much of the site had been truncated during the construction of the present buildings in the early 1970s. Two trenches showed that brick rubble lies directly above natural clays suggesting that a certain amount of earthmoving on the site had taken place in the past. No archaeological features or deposits were observed and no finds were collected. |
