Abstract: |
Norvic Archaeology was commissioned by Moore and Stone Carpentry and Building Ltd on behalf of the owners Mr and Mrs Gooden, to undertake archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a cartlodge at the rear of No.54 St John's Street, Bury St Edmunds (Planning Ref. SE/12/1641/HHLBCA and APP/E3525/D/13/2197423). This site lies in an area of archaeological interest, in the historic core of Bury St Edmunds (County Historic Environment Record BSE 241). It is located to the rear of St John's Street (historically known as Long Brackland), towards the frontage of Church Row which is also a medieval street. A medieval soil horizon was identified which contained residual pottery sherds of late 12th to 14th century date. A single medieval feature was revealed in the form of a probable pit which contained pottery of likely 13th century date. The medieval soil and ?pit were sealed below a post-medieval soil build-up of c. 0.5m in depth, below modern garden soils and rubble make-up. This appears to demonstrate a significant gap in domestic activity in the vicinity of the site until the establishment of 19th to 20th century garden soils relating to Church Cottage and the grounds of the former vicarage fronting St Johns Street, known as Radford House. Other noteworthy finds include a single sherd of well abraded Late Saxon pottery and two examples of Late Neolithic to Bronze Age worked flint. |
