Abstract: |
A 1683sq m excavation area targeted remains found during preceding evaluation in the east of the site. Two pits of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date provide evidence for a limited and perhaps transitory early presence in the landscape. Limited evidence for earlier Roman agricultural activity comprised two boundary ditches, parallel to and perpendicular with Stowmarket Road (on the line of the Colchester to Caistor Roman road), and several small pits. Medieval activity comprised three buildings and the fringes of a possible field system, possibly representing part of a farmstead. Post-medieval field boundary ditches recorded during the evaluation are indicative of a continued agricultural land use. |
