Abstract: |
In June 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of Land North-East of Flordon Road at Creeting St. Mary, Suffolk. A total of thirteen trenches were excavated. Archaeological features dating to the Neolithic-Bronze Age were identified in these trenches in the northern corner of the site; two gullies and two possible pits. A small finds assemblage comprising ten sherds of pottery and seventeen struck flint flakes were recovered from these features. All four features were cut into a fine, loose sand natural substrate which was sonly observed in these three trenches, the natural substrate elsewhere on site comprised mottled chalk and silt patches. Colluvium was identified up to 0.5m in thickness in three trenches, no archaeology was observed truncated the colluvium or being sealed by it. The prehistoric activity on site appears ephemeral in nature and likely relates to extensive prehistoric activity ranging between the Palaeolithic and the Iron Age already recorded in the area. |
