Abstract: |
A single 30m evaluation trench was excavated across the footprint of a proposed extension to Houldsworth Valley Community Primary School. The evaluation was carried out on the 17th of February 2014 as a condition for planning consent. The work was commissioned by Suffolk County Council. The evaluation identified a single shallow ditch aligned north-east to south-west whose projection bisects the area into two equally sized fields. Fragments of coke and a piece of post-medieval tile were recovered from the feature. Two postholes aligned at a right angle to the post-medieval ditch were recorded towards the centre of the trench. The postholes are undated and it is currently unclear whether they are contemporary to the ditch or belong to some earlier activity. Evaluation trenches previously excavated to the south of the development area identified a collection of similar prehistoric postholes lying along a similar though not coinciding alignment. The postholes may also belong to a structure crossing over the trenches location although this interpretation seems the least likely. |
