Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land west of Suffolk One, Scrivener Drive, Pinewood, Suffolk. The evaluation was carried out in relation to a proposed retail development. Thirteen evaluation trenches were excavated, covering an area of 420m2 and representing approximately 6% of the total area of the 0.72 hectare development site. The site was on gently sloping ground at a maximum height of 41.5m OD. The natural stratum was glacial till of the Lowestoft Formation (Diamicton). Although there had been no previous archaeological fieldwork on the site, it was located in an area of high archaeological potential, being adjacent to a Middle Bronze Age cremation cemetery (SHER ref: SPT 035). The evaluation revealed that glacial till was sealed by topsoil and turf with an average thickness of 0.35m. No archaeological deposits or features were found. The only retained find was a post-medieval button, recovered by metal detecting. |
