Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Wideham Farm to carry out archaeological monitoring ahead of the extension of a campsite at Wideham Farm, Icklingham Road, West Stow, Suffolk (TL 799 716). The proposed development site measures approximately 2.5ha and is roughly rectangular in shape, with a slight bend to the northern edge. Works included the excavation of two soak aways and connected pipe trenches to the south of the development plot associated with a new toilet block. The toilet block was placed above ground level, requiring no excavation. The placement of small pits for twenty four trees along the eastern edge was also monitored. The site is considered to be in an area of high archaeological potential due to its proximity to the well-known West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village, an associated Anglo Saxon cemetery, and a Roman road, among other known heritage assets. St Edmunsbury Borough Council granted planning consent conditional upon archaeological monitoring and metal detecting during the works. Monitoring took place on 16 January 2016. Soakaway 1 measured 1.00m deep x 1.6m wide x 2.20m long. Topsoil reached a depth of 0.42m and no subsoil was present. Soakaway 2 measured 1.00m deep x 1.60m wide x 2.70m long, with 0.30m deep topsoil and no subsoil. The pipe trench was a total of 20.8m long, with a depth of 0.50m and a 0.40m width, joining the two soakaways to the toilet block. No archaeological features were identified during the monitoring, though a probable burrow was identified in Soakaway 1. Twenty four small pits were excavated for the placement of trees along the eastern edge of the plot. These each measured c. 0.40m wide x 0.50m long and 0.45m deep and were regularly spaced. Each exposed soil surface and any removed soil was detected by an experienced metal-detectorist. Metal detecting revealed four bullet casings, a shotgun cartridge, three iron nails, a copper alloy scrap and a modern screw. No archaeological evidence was recovered.
