Abstract: |
In November 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land between 19 and 23 Ravensmere, Beccles, Suffolk (NGR TM4222690698; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for proposed demolition of an existing workshop and shop, and the construction of 4 dwellings with associated access and parking (East Suffolk Planning Ref DC/18/4543/FUL). It was required based on the advice of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team. The site is in an area of archaeological potential, within the historic settlement core of the town. Medieval and post-medieval remains have been recorded to the immediate north of the site (HER BCC018 and Misc), and historic cartographic sources show a series of terraces of buildings of unknown date but pre-dating the current ones. The site thus had a potential for archaeological remains associated with the medieval and postmedieval settlement of Beccles. The evaluation revealed large medieval and post-medieval possible quarry pits, a modern (19th century) wall footing, and modern services. |
