Abstract: |
Debenham, part garden The Red House, Little London Hill (DBN 167, TM 1722 6364) evaluation trenching for a planned single dwelling development revealed substantial deposits of subsoil at a site adjacent to the head waters of the River Deben and close to its confluence with The Gulls. This area of the village has revealed deep subsoil deposits previously and it can be concluded that on the northern side of the village an originally deep valley has been filled-in with hill wash over a long period. While no archaeological features were revealed a moderate number of medieval pottery sherds of 12th-14th century date were recovered as stray finds indicative of activity nearby. In addition with medieval sherds found close to the base of the subsoil it appears that the hill wash deposition episode occurred over the last 700-800 years perhaps triggered by more intense arable land use as the population peaked in the 13th to mid 14th century period. |
