Abstract: |
On the 21st March 2018, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation in advance of the construction of an above ground water attenuation storage area and associated landscaping at Hill View, Church Road, Otley, Suffolk The archaeological background for the site suggested that there would be a moderate potential for medieval, and post-medieval activity. The presence of later Prehistoric and Roman finds close to the development site suggested a low to moderate potential for encountering features dated to these periods. The archaeological evaluation encountered identified two phases of activity on the site. The first phase is represented by Ditch 1004 which is most likely a post-medieval field boundary and indicates the site's previous agricultural use during the post-medieval period. However without dating evidence it is not possible to confirm this. The second phase relates to Demolition Layer 1003 in Trench 2 which represents the demolition of the modern warehouse to the east of the site, the material from which has been spread and compacted across the northern area of the site with pieces of CBM pressed into the natural in Trench 2. The evaluation was successful in identifying a field boundary which is likely of post-medieval date but cannot be confirmed. It seems that the site was previously used as an agricultural field most likely during the post-medieval period, and then recently was used as a dump for debris from the demolition of the warehouse to the east which was spread across the northern area of the site. |
