Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Wellington Construction Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching ahead of planned construction of residential housing at land adjacent to The Nordalls, Kessingland, Suffolk, NR33 7UE (TM 5298 8638). The site encompasses an area of 0.56 hectares. The archaeological evaluation took place from 12-15 September 2016. Seven evaluation trenches each measuring 25m x 1.80m were excavated within the development area, of which two trenches contained archaeological remains. The results revealed an earthwork of a woodbank demonstrating a managed landscape, surface deposits consisting of rammed, re-deposited geological clay, a formation of flint nodules, and an elongated terminus feature which contained areas of in-situ burning that may be remains of a kiln or oven. Sherds of medieval pottery with a spot date of 12th-14th centuries were recovered from the features, suggesting settlement occupation of that date within the vicinity of the site. |
