Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Mr G. Baxter of Carlton Hall to conduct an archaeological excavation on land west of Carlton Hall, Chapel Road, Carlton Colville, Suffolk. The excavation was carried out ahead of the proposed construction of 35 sheltered dwellings at TM 50892,90190 (centred), and covered an area of approximately 0.42ha. A DBA in June 2014 concluded that the development would impact archaeological resources of local significance. A magnetometer survey of the site revealed anomalies which may represent boundaries and pits. Subsequent trial trenching identified significant archaeological remains were present. An excavation produced worked flints typologically dated as spanning Palaeolithic to Late Bronze Age dates, although these were largely redeposited or unstratified. The remains of a Late Saxon and early medieval settlement were identified. The excavations provided datable structural evidence in the form of post-hole groupings probably of dwellings and ancillary buildings, metalled surfaces forming trackways, pits, and ditched land divisions. Such features are dated as spanning the 10th to 12th centuries. Archaeological evidence suggests that settlement was established during the Late Saxon period and abandoned during the 11th or 12th centuries. Changing settlement pattern is a recurrent theme in East Anglian archaeology often associated with manorial development and change in land use. A small number of post-medieval features including a ditch and a probable pond were also recorded. |
