Abstract: |
Following an evaluation by trial trenching, an archaeological monitoring of ground works was carried out on the site of a residential development located within the former precinct of Sudbury's Dominican Priory (SUY 005). All the foundation trenches for the new buildings (approximately 60m in total) were observed. The natural stratum was river terrace sand and gravel, at heights of between 23.71m OD and 23.54m OD and with a slight fall to the south. A large pit, probably a late medieval or post-medieval quarry, was identified in the northern part of the site. Part of a late medieval or early post-medieval building with mortared flint foundations and with a chimney and hearth at its north end (Building 1) was found in the southern half of the site; it was probably built in the immediate post-Dissolution period. The building was demolished in the later post-medieval period when the site was restored to its former use as an orchard. A cellared brick building (Building 2, probably a house) was erected in the orchard in the 19th century; it might have been associated with an adjacent industrial building. |
