Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was conducted for Orchard Developments (East Anglia) Limited ahead of the construction of new dwellings at Oak House Farm, Mill Street, Gislingham in Suffolk. The work followed trial trench evaluation of the site carried out in April 2012. Two ditches recorded at the site may have originally formed part of two medieval enclosures which fronted onto and respected the alignment of Mill Street. The combined results of the evaluation phase and the excavation suggest that the slightly larger, north-west to south-east aligned ditch was probably maintained until the 15th-16th centuries and then filled up during the 17th-18th centuries when it ceased to become a feature of the landscape. A clay extraction pit and a pond (which may also originally have been an extraction pit) appeared to have been excavated sometime in the 15th-16th centuries. This date appears to coincide with the abandonment of the north-west to south-east aligned ditch and therefore may have heralded a change in landuse from, perhaps, the keeping of stock to a more liminal one of quarrying and waste disposal.
