Abstract: |
In April 2019 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land east of Beeches Road, West Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk IP28 8NP (NGR TL 675 761; Figs.1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a residential development (Forest Heath DC Planning Appeal Approval Ref. DC/18/0614/FUL). It was required based on the advice of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC ASCT) Archaeological features and finds were found within each trench, except Trench 3. Most often between 1 and 3 features were present, excepting Trenches 9 and 11 when 30 and 10 pits, respectively, were excavated and recorded. The features dated to the Roman and post-medieval periods. The Roman features were present in the western and eastern sectors of the site but were most common in the western sector. The Roman features comprised pits in Trenches 9 and 11, and ditches elsewhere. A large ditch, F1020, was recorded in Trenches 5, 6 and 7. The features dated primarily to the late 3rd - 4th century, and represent a continuation of the adjacent archaeology (OA East, 2015). The post-medieval features predominantly comprised pits, and were most common in Trenches 9 and 11. |
