Abstract: |
The mechanical excavation of a 100m long trench at Hotel Taxiway, RAF Lakenheath, was monitored for the presence of an archaeological horizon. Upon excavation the northern portion of the development area was found to have been severely truncated down to the undisturbed natural. When plotted against the HER it becomes clear that the site lay partly inside the extents of a large multi-phased site (LKH 070) identified by Lady Briscoe between the 1930's and 1960's .The trench uncovered a single square profiled ditch (0003) and a large, dark Iron Age spread (0002) at its southern end. A small group of handmade pottery of uncertain Iron Age or early Anglo-Saxon date was recovered from the layer. The ditch was undated, but may relate to nearby Iron Age features. |
