Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at South Close, Bury St Edmunds (NGR TL 844 635) initially between the 15th and the 16th June 2015 and on the 24th July and 29th July 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Cocksedge Building Contractors Ltd prior to residential redevelopment. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The earliest activity was evidenced by two ditches recorded in Trench 4, where modern truncations were at a minimum. Ditch [108] contained 2 fragment of highly abraded flint which indicate a prehistoric date. These features were sealed by layers of topsoil and subsoil. Except these fragments of flint the ditches were largely devoid of finds suggesting they are away from the focus of settlement activity. |
