Abstract: |
In October 2018 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out archaeological monitoring and recording to the rear of the Great House Hotel, Market Place, Lavenham, Suffolk CO10 9QZ. The monitoring was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval. The archaeological features were principally pits (10) but also ditches (3) and a gully. This archaeology is consistent with the enclosure and development of backyard plots within the urban core of Lavenham. Pits F2016 and F2026 contained small quantities of late medieval to transitional (mid 13th-16th century) pottery, comprising locally-produced coarse ware jugs with splashed glaze. However the presence of low quantities of CBM and clay pipe fragments suggests these sherds may be residual. The majority of the features dated from the 18th - 20th century, and contained pottery including glazed red earthen wares, stone wares and refined white earthen wares (including transfer printed wares). CBM and sheep and horse bones were also present which is not unexpected given Lavenham's prosperity which was largely based on the wool trade and associated working animals. |
