Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Factory Lane, Brantham, Suffolk. At the time the evaluation was conducted almost all of the land consisted of ploughed fields apart from a small area within the industrial estate to the south. Thirty-seven trenches were excavated by machine down to the natural deposits. Topsoil, in all cases but one consisting of ploughsoil, was approximately 0.30m thick. The exception was a trench within the industrial estate which showed evidence of landscaping. Topsoil was only 100-150mm thick in this area. Of these, archaeological features were recorded in only two trenches, with a further six containing modern features and deposits. A large shallow hollow was recorded in Trench 21 to the north-west of the site, which yielded finds from the late 13th- mid 14th centuries. A post-medieval field boundary was recorded in Trench 31 close to the south side of the site, which aligned with an existing field boundary. |
