Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological evaluation by single trial trench on the site proposed for a single Manager's House at Wideham Farm Equestrian Centre, Icklingham Road, West Stow Suffolk (Planning Ref. SE/13/0471/FUL). The overall plot for the house measures c. 1300m2 with a house footprint of c. 130m2. This site lies in an area of archaeological interest in the Lark Valley, within a multi-period historic landscape. The farm is located less than 100m north of a former Anglo-Saxon settlement, which is a statutorily protected Scheduled Monument (SM SF170). No archaeological deposits or finds were encountered during the work and the evaluation trench revealed only geological sands. The subsoil has been well-mixed by modern farming methods. Plough scars and evidence for mechanical de-stoning was noted at the interface between the shallow plough-soil and the natural sands below. The results of this single evaluation trench appear to demonstrate that the area of the proposed house can be considered to be of negligible archaeological potential. |
