Abstract: |
In June 2020, Cotswold Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation at Plot 300, Suffolk Business Park, Rougham. Of the seven trenches excavated, only two were blank of archaeological features. Most prominently was a series of Roman period ditches encountered across the northern part of the site. Besides the ditches, only two discrete features were revealed: an oval pit near the north of the site and a small hearth towards the south. Both contained Roman pottery and, like the ditches, contained residual Late Iron Age sherds, suggesting 1st to 2nd century activity somewhere in the vicinity. Other results include a large undated ditch (on a different alignment to the Roman ditches), residual struck flints in later features and unstratified post-medieval pottery |
