Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by Suffolk Archaeology CIC at Fullers Field, Swan Lane, Westerfield, in Suffolk. The evaluation assessed 5% of two small paddocks covering c.1.0ha for archaeological evidence. The works consisted of nine trenches spread across the site to sample all areas of the development. The works found little evidence of archaeological features with one post-medieval to modern pit found in Trench 1, a post-medieval to modern ditch seen in Trenches 1 and 5 and various geological features seen in Trenches 2, 8 and 9. The geological feature seen in Trench 2 contained sparse finds of prehistoric struck flint on the surface with other geological features seen in Trenches 8 and 9 showing no archaeological content. The ditches seen in Trenches 1 and 5 is most likely the same ditch containing finds of post-medieval and modern pottery, CBM (Ceramic Building Material) and animal bone and is most likely linked to the former use of the land as pig pens. The pit seen in Trench 1 is also most likely linked to this phase and contained the same date and type of material. The western most field also contained a made ground deposit above the topsoil layer and 2 features dated to the late 1990s containing dumps of modern waste from construction of the nearby properties. For this reason Trench 9 was stopped short so that this material was not disturbed contaminating the topsoil. |
