Abstract: |
On the 1st February 2017, Suffolk Archaeology CIC (SACIC) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation within the footprint of a proposed block of new classrooms on the playing field of Glade School, Knappers Way, Brandon, Suffolk. Two 20 x 1.80m trenches (c. 5% of the total area) were evaluated to assess the quantity, quality and extent of any surviving archaeological deposits. Only a single modern posthole was present in Trench 1, prehistoric and post-medieval struck flint flakes, and post-medieval animal bone, ceramic building material, pottery and clay pipe were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil layers. Due to the recovery of prehistoric struck flint debitage a subsequent stage of archaeological monitoring was undertaken on the 6th and 7th of February 2017. Topsoil and subsoil layers were mechanically stripped revealing the natural superficial geology horizon within the footprint of the proposed classrooms. One modern pit was present and further struck flint and post-medieval finds were recovered from the subsoil/natural interface. |
