Abstract: |
Evaluation: On the 8th December 2016, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Suffolk Golf and Spa Hotel, The Street, Fornham St, Genevieve, Suffolk (TL 844 675) in advance of work to extend the function room and create a new club house at the Suffolk Golf and Spa Hotel Background research showed that the site had a high potential for prehistoric archaeology and a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. Despite the potential no archaeological finds or features were encountered in the excavated area. The evaluation revealed two phases of activity on the site. The first relates to a Remnant Woodland Soil which is likely a buried post-medieval to modern soil formed when the area was dominated by trees and vegetation. The second and final phase of activity on the site relates to the modern landscaping of the area. The practice putting green for the golf course (present in the area of the proposed club house) was formed after the area was cleared, on to which Modern Gravel and Modern Sand where placed as a levelling layer followed by Topsoil. |
