Abstract:
In November 2014 Britannia Archaeology Ltd undertook a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey over 1.8 hectares of land at Red House Farm, Fressingfield, Suffolk, in one field given over to pasture, ahead of the construction of a residential development. A fairly narrow range of anomalies were recorded during the survey, some of which may have an archaeological derivation. The most common anomalies recorded within the dataset were isolated dipolar responses that indicate the presence of ferrous material within the upper soil horizon probably introduced during the manuring process. Areas of magnetic disturbance were recorded predominantly around the sites periphery caused by ferrous material present within the field boundaries. Seven discontinuous narrow positive linear trends recorded running parallel with the long axis of the field are likely to relate to previous agricultural practices. One thermoremnant response is indicative of an area of burning, potentially an oven, hearth, furnace or kiln of possible archaeological or equally modern origin. Four linear trends that form parallel and perpendicular mutually respecting enclosures have also been recorded. They predate the 1885 Ordnance Survey map and are on a slightly different alignment to the current boundary arrangement.
