Abstract: |
From the 27th - 30th August 2019, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Land at Breach Park, Beck Row, Suffolk (NGR TL 702788) on behalf of James Lepper and as part of a planning application (AP/16/0002/REF) ahead of residential development of the site. The site had a moderate to high potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric period, a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the Roman period, and for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods particularly in the form of agricultural features. Despite the potential for archaeological finds and features relating to the prehistoric, Roman, and Medieval periods, no activity was identified within the site from these periods. The evaluation did, however, successfully identify evidence of post-medieval activity relating to the drainage and reclamation of the fenland. The presence of desiccated fen deposits suggest that the site would have been fenland until being reclaimed during the post-medieval period and the land being turned over to agriculture. |
