Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Anglian Water Services Ltd ahead of the construction of a replacement sewage main on arable land to the west of Long Melford, Suffolk. The archaeological works involved the excavation of six evaluation trenches each measuring 25m in length and 1.8m wide. Only two of the trenches (Trenches 4 and 6) contained archaeological features. Trench 6 at the western end of the easement contained a probable ditch of medieval date and a large assemblage of medieval pottery from the subsoil. The ditch was likely to be an old boundary ditch located at the edge of the medieval forerunner of School Lane. A sherd of Roman pottery, found within the ditch was likely to be residual. A small pit of unknown date was observed within Trench 4. Fragments of ceramic building material were recovered during the machining of Trench 5. |
