Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Ford House, Shire Hall, in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The site falls within the Scheduled Monument of Bury Abbey and within the Middle and Late Saxon and medieval settlement cores of the town. Subsequently the works had the potential to uncover deposits including human remains. Only limited excavation took place, for service trenches, shallow stripping of various areas, and the insertion of new posts. Apart from an undated dark grey silt sediment recorded in one trench, no archaeological features or finds were present. The site appeared in general to have been significantly built-up in order to level it and bring it above the floodplain of the River Linnet, which is immediately east of the site. |
