Abstract: |
On the 10th February 2015, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation by means of augered transects at Holbrook Mill Ponds, Primrose Hill, Holbrook, Suffolk (NGR TM 167 358), in response to a design brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Services/Conservation Team (SCCAS/CT) which allowed for a borehole survey to establish the nature of deposits on the site and assess the likely depth of any peat deposits that may have been present Despite the potential for eco- environmental remains as well as remains from the Bronze Age and post medieval periods, only alluvial deposits relating to the movement of soils on the site were encountered. The lack of archaeological features and eco-environmental deposits, despite the potential for these within the site bounds, is likely due to the level of soil movement that has occurred in the area in the last half century with the construction of the nearby Alton Water reservoir and the continual bunding and banking of the nearby ponds. |
