Abstract: |
In June 2018 a programme of archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out on a piece of land adjacent to the A140 and to the north of Brome Industrial Park (former Eye Airfield), Brome, Suffolk prior to the construction of a new roundabout and associated link roads. Fifteen archaeologically supervised trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. The works revealed a single Late Iron Age/Romano British ditch within Trench 3, that contained a large assemblage of pottery, a medieval ditch in Trench 11 and a post-medieval ditch in Trench 9. Modern pits identified in Trenches 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 likely relate to when the site formed part of the WW2 airfield of Eye. Undated ditches identified in Trenches 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12 and 13 may relate to an earlier field system of Late Iron Age/Romano British date or they may represent the remnant of a field system of medieval or post-medieval date. |
