Abstract: |
Acton, Albany House, High Street (ACT 031, TL8928 4492) evaluation trenching in the back garden for a single dwelling development revealed a large, south-east/north-west aligned, ditch running parallel to the High Street with a primary fill of medieval date. Hodkinson's map of Suffolk of 1783 suggests the presence of a linear green where this house and others of post 1800 date now stand and the large ditch is interpreted as green edge boundary. To the south of this ditch, and therefore further from the green edge, a second trench revealed extensive ground disturbance of Post medieval date which is likely to represent a phase of quarrying at the site. The scarcity of finds of medieval or earlier Post medieval date at the site suggests that the area immediately around the evaluation trenches was only in general agricultural use during these periods. |
