Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the excavation of footing trenches for a new two storey garage to be built in the rear garden of 1 Bulmer Road, Sudbury on land previously called 'Chapel Field'. Interest in the site is focused on locating Ballingdon Chapel, founded during the 12th century possibly as part of the pilgrims, way to the shrine of St Edmund in Bury, for which no physical remains have yet been found. The earliest evidence from the site was a series of large wide pits that were probably dug to extract sand for building. The pits were well consolidated and produced a small collection of finds suggesting a date from the 12th to 14th centuries. Structural evidence above this included a well lined with tile, and wall footings built of tile and mortar. There was also some solid mortar with flint and limestone blocks. The tiles appear to have been mid-late medieval and it is possible that these are fragmentary remains of buildings added to the Chapel complex in the later medieval period. |
