Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2018 at Suffolk Business Park, Rougham Site Plot 920, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Twelve trenches were excavated. Four undated ditches were identified during the evaluation. The general lack of dating evidence perhaps suggests that the ditches represent historic field system boundaries away from any foci of settlement. A small assemblage of un-stratified prehistoric flint was recovered from across the Site. The large pit encountered in Trench 64 is likely to be a quarry pit for extracting local sand or clay. Similar pits have been identified during other phases of evaluation work within the vicinity of the Site and are thought to be relatively modern in date. The Site was largely devoid of any material associated with the former airfield, the exception being the clinker drain and concrete pipe encountered within Trenches 61 and 62. |
