Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land off Valley Road, Leiston in November 2013 in advance of the development of land for housing by Badger Building (E. Anglia) Ltd. The site is just to the east of the centre of Leiston, an historic town with a significant Premonstratensian Abbey in founded in 1182 nearby (the Abbey moved to its present site in the 14th Century). Three trenches were excavated across the site, arranged according to a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Dr Jess Tipper of Suffolk County Council Archaeology Service Conservation Team (SCCAS/CT). No archaeologically relevant finds or deposits were observed - a thickening subsoil deposit noted in Trenches 2 and 3 is may be of natural origin and was devoid of any cultural material - and the depth to natural geology deepened from 0.3m at the northern end of the site to between 1.3m-2.0m in Trench 3 near the road. |
