Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches with a combined length of 41.7m were excavated at 5 Friars Lane, Bury St Edmunds. The evaluation was carried out between the 17th and 18th of April 2014 and was conducted as a condition for planning application DC/13/0526/FUL. The work followed a written scheme of investigation written by SCCAS/FT in response to an archaeological Brief issued by Dr. Abby Antrobus (SCCAS/CT). The evaluation identified five features comprising a single undated gully or small ditch (0008), two medieval probable refuse pits (0010 and 0012) and two larger pits (0016 and 0022) that were likely to have been chalk extraction pits. Due to the excessive depth of the evaluation trench the second quarry pit (0022) was summarily investigated and produced an iron nail thought to be medieval in date. The evaluation also determined that the development area had been built up significantly using deposits of post-medieval material, predominantly a clean imported soil. |
