Abstract: |
In June 2019 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out archaeological evaluation on land at the Pumping Station, Stoke Road, Clare, Suffolk (NGR TL 766 449; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a pair of semi-detached cottages (St Edmundsbury Borough Council Planning Ref. DC/18/2193/FUL). The Suffolk Historic Environment Record notes that this is an area of archaeological potential, within part of the historic settlement area of Clare (HER CLA 058). The site fronts Nethergate Street which was an early area of suburban settlement. This has been confirmed by archaeological investigations to the immediate east (HER CLA 079) which identified medieval features. The site thus had a potential for the presence of medieval remains, and the site appears to have been relatively undeveloped in the postmedieval period which increases the potential for the survival of early settlement remains. Struck and burnt flint were present in the subsoil and residual within a medieval pit. The number of struck flint within the subsoil was relatively high (23) but of mixed prehistoric origin. Pit F1005 contained medieval (late 12th - mid 14th century) pottery. Animal bone, and sparse shell, fired clay and carbonised remains were found in association with the pottery. |
