Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Hopkins and Moore (Developments) Ltd ahead of the redevelopment of a site at Wickham Market in Suffolk. The site was adjacent to the High Street and was occupied, until recent demolition, by a 1950s office building and 1970s works buildings along with their associated car parking and areas of hard standing. Following the removal of the upstanding buildings, their concrete slabs and the areas of hardstanding, trial trenches were excavated to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. It was intended to open four trenches but only two were excavated as it was clear that the preparation of the site for the demolished buildings had included substantial terracing across the site. The site had been terraced to such an extent that the levels had been reduced to a point within the underlying natural sand and therefore, any archaeological deposits that may have been present prior to this truncation had been removed. |
