Abstract: |
From the 5th to the 11th April 2019, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation on Land Adjacent Wyverstone Road, Bacton, Suffolk (NGR TM 04590 67170) ahead of residential development of the site. The site had a high potential for features and finds dating to the post-medieval period and a low potential for all other periods. The evaluation revealed two ditches and a pond, all the features are undated. However their orientations and locations match the ditches and a pond present on the 1839 Tithe map of Bacton. The Tithe map, dated 1839, shows the site was comprised of four fields, with a pond central to the site. The evaluation revealed features dated from the post-medieval period. Both the documentary and archaeological evidence shows the site to have been agricultural fields from at least the early 19th century. The lack of features and finds over the majority of the site would further suggest that the site has remained relatively unchanged for a considerable length of time. |
