Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AEE Renewables UK29 to undertake a programme of archaeological work on land at Reydon Farm, Reydon, Suffolk, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) TM 48705 77672. The programme of works was required in advance of the development of a 4.39 MW solar farm, and included the excavation of 35 trial trenches, subsequent mitigation in three locations, and a watching brief for a cable trench. The trial trench evaluation and mitigation was undertaken from 28th October to 15th November 2013. The watching brief was undertaken on 18th February 2014. The excavations at Reydon Farm have added to the growing knowledge of the archaeology in the local environment, significantly in relation to the Neolithic utilisation of, and interaction with, the landscape. A total of 26 pits were recorded in three locations on the site, many of which contained domestic Early Neolithic material. The pits and their assemblages suggest temporality of settlement, occupation and deposition. A large number of ditches were recorded during the course of the trial trench evaluation and, despite remaining undated, are likely to be post-medieval in date. |
