Abstract: |
In January 2018 a programme of archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out on a piece of land between Bourne Hill and the A137, Wherstead, Suffolk to inform proposals for the development of the site for housing. Seventeen archaeologically supervised trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. The trenches were positioned systematically to sample all areas of the site and in order to effectively sample results identified in a geophysical survey. The works revealed that an area at the eastern end of the site had been used in the early 20th century for the quarrying of sand or brickearth, with a large quarry pit identified within trenches 8,9 and 11. Two undated ditches were recorded in the southwest corner within trench 3 and a single late Bronze Age / early Iron Age pit, containing worked flint and pottery, was identified within trench 7. |
