Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land south of Union Road, Onehouse, Suffolk in advance of development of the site. The southern part of the site has previously been subject to partial evaluation by SACIC in January 2017 (Picard 2017), during which twenty trenches were excavated, eight of which contained archaeological features. A further fifty-one trenches were excavated during this second phase of work. The evaluation has identified Bronze Age domestic activity, characterised by five pits displaying evidence of burning, and Iron Age agricultural activity in the form of several ditches. A total of twenty-eight features were identified in twelve trenches, although some of the features are likely to represent different sections through the same ditch, where ditches crossed through multiple trenches. Most of the ditches were oriented north-south, or northeast-southwest, with the majority located in the north-east part of the site, however a few others were scattered sporadically across the site. The depth of the archaeological horizon was at 0.30-0.80m in the north field (becoming deeper further south), and as deep as 1.38m in the southern field, therefore any groundworks taking place at this level are likely to impact upon the archaeological horizon. |
