Abstract: |
From 14th to 30th of January 2020, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Terry Gibson of Aaron Windows Ltd. The archaeological work was required as a condition of planning application DC/16/0184/FUL, for the construction of houses at Land to Rear of 83 to 91 Holmsey Green, Beck Row, Suffolk (TL 698780).The evaluation successfully identified two phases of activity. The first phase is medieval (12th-14th century) and is represented by natural features which contained a small amount of abraded medieval pottery which were likely transported to the natural features by rooting or burrowing activity, most likely from the subsoil.The second phase is post-medieval (16th-18th century) and is the predominant phase of activity on the site. Eight pits were dated to this phase and were most likely used to extract the natural chalk. Chalk extraction pits were recorded nearby c.900m south of the site (MNL 765) and also at a site c.400m to the southeast (MNL 705). The remaining undated pits are most likely also related to the post-medieval chalk extraction activity as their shape in plan and profile are very similar to those that have been dated. The undated post holes from trench 2 possibly represent a small temporary structure for agricultural storage. The undated ditch terminus could represent part of an old agricultural boundary on the edge of Beck Row and is likely medieval or post-medieval date. |
