Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was conducted for Anglian Water Services Limited during the excavation of test pits to locate services at Lovetofts Drive, Ipswich. Walls and a yard surface probably associated with Lovetofts Farm were present in the excavated test pits. They were probably part of farm buildings rather than domestic buildings and could be dated to the 17th-18th century. They were on the same alignment and in approximately the same position as farm buildings shown on the 1882 First Edition Ordnance Survey map. Although they had all been demolished, probably when the mid-20th-century housing estate was built, the walls and surfaces survive at a depth of c.0.4m below ground level. Although no evidence of the medieval manorial complex believed to be in this location was found, it is likely that archaeological evidence of this, perhaps including structures, may survive elsewhere in the immediate area. |
