Abstract:
In January 2008, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at 86 High Street, Lakenheath, Suffolk (NGR TL 7148 8261). The investigation was commissioned in advance of proposed residential redevelopment (Planning ref: F/2007/0735/FUL). The desk-based assessment identified potential for archaeology of several periods. Prehistoric remains were considered likely, particularly from the Bronze Age, although other periods of prehistory are also represented in the area. Evidence of Roman occupation near Lakenheath village is scarce with only a few spot finds recorded. Anglo-Saxon finds have been found close to the modern village centre. Lakenheath was given town status, a market and a fair in the medieval perod, with an early Norman church. The medieval town was centred on the High Street. In the event, no archaeological features or finds were present. A modern pit, F1011, and a tree hollow, F1013, were recorded in section. Several previous archaeological investigations along the High Street have produced negative results. Possibly much evidence of the earlier settlement has been removed by post-medieval and modern buildings.
