Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Bidwells LLP, on behalf of Knight Developments, to carry out an archaeological evaluation ahead of residential development at Land west of Moore's Lane, East Bergholt, Suffolk, CO7 6RW (TM 072 356). The proposed development site measures 8.45ha in size, and lies in the Stour river valley, an area of moderate archaeological interest. The Suffolk HER has several records from surrounding fields, including scatters of Roman and medieval finds (EBG 002 and 036), an undated human skull (EBG 008), and several cropmarks of unknown date (EBG 002). Due to this possible archaeological potential, the Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team recommended that a geophysical survey and metal detecting field survey be carried out on the development site prior to development. This was followed by an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching. Archaeological works were carried out from 21 October - 26 October 2015. As the metal detecting survey revealed few finds, twenty one trenches were placed at regular intervals across the development site. Out of 21 trenches, 7 contained archaeologically relevant features, 4 contained modern land drains, and 1 showed purely natural features. The remaining 9 trenches contained no features or finds. |
