Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and a continuous monitoring were carried out during the construction of a carpark on RAF Mildenhall, in the parish of Mildenhall at TL 6875 7767 and recorded under the HER No. MNL 682. A network of Iron Age ditches were uncovered that appear to form a series of enclosures, that align northwest to southeast before turning northeast with entrances facing to the south. Some moderately large pits were uncovered, which may also have been Iron Age but this dating could not be confirmed. Significant finds included Iron Age pottery, a triangular loomweight and a fired clay slingshot, an unusual find although typical of the period. The site lies to the southeast of the prehistoric and Roman settlement excavated at Washington Square (HER No. MNL 639) during 2010. This report presents the results of all the fieldwork and provides a quantification and assessment of the site archive and its potential to answer specific research questions. Recommendations are made for further analysis and for the dissemination of the results in a thematic publication alongside the larger excavations on RAF Mildenhall, which include 30 Acre Field (HER No. MNL 532) and Washington Square. |
