Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the 4th October 2017 on land adjacent to Meadow View, Melford Road, Acton as required by a condition placed on planning application B/16/00088/OUT by Babergh District Council. The three trenches, which were excavated across the location of the new footings, did not identify any archaeological deposits to suggest activity on the site prior to the post-medieval period, since when it appears likely to have been in use as open farmland on the periphery of the settlement. Two trenches revealed an undated large former hollow, pond or former water channel, infilled by natural waterlain deposits and then a possible man-made deposit to raise/level the ground surface of the field. Post-medieval/modern artefacts were recovered, unsratified, from the topsoil or subsoil. |
