Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation was carried out on land at Sizewell Gap, Leiston, Suffolk, comprising an archaeological evaluation, strip, map and sample excavation and watching brief. The discovery of small quantities of early prehistoric flint and pottery hint at activity during the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods, but these were residual in later features. A small number of pits of Earliest to Early Iron Age date contained pottery, briquetage and fired clay. The majority of the evidence produced by the investigations related to the utilisation of the site during the Romano British period, with the establishment of a series of rectilinear enclosures and trackways. These were predominantly located in the northern half of the site and appeared to extend beyond the northern, and probably also the southern and eastern edges of the excavated area. A small group of cremation graves, of Romano-British date, were located in the extreme eastern part of the site. The Roman features contained a range of artefacts including pottery, ceramic building material, fired clay, flint, quernstone fragments, glass, iron fixtures and fittings, and animal bone. |
