Abstract:
An archaeological Watching Brief and Excavation took place during groundworks associated with the installation of the Long Melford Reservoir to Bull Lane Replacement Main through the landscaped parkland attached to Kentwell Hall. A group of ditches dating from the Mid-Late Iron Age to the mid 2nd century AD was discovered. These features contained a relatively high proportion of artefacts, suggesting intensive manuring of arable fields and a farming settlement in the immediate area. This arable land use did not appear to last beyond the mid 2nd century. However elements of the Roman field system (boundaries) appear to be still evident in the modern landscape suggesting that after the mid 2nd century the land use reverted to stock rearing until the post-medieval period.
