Abstract: |
On the 1st and 2nd of July 2019, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation on behalf of Essex Prestige Homes, as a scheme of archaeological works in response to a brief issued by Suffolk County Council (Cutler, H. 9th March 2018). The brief required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample 5% of the area under threat from development which comprised a single 15.00 x 1.80m of trench to assess the nature and potential of the site, and to determine the need for any future site investigations. Four archaeological features were encountered within the trial trench. Ditch 1010 and 1008 were dated from at least the 16th century onwards and likely form land division. Further study of the mapping for the site which shows that these ditches are are not present on the Tithe map dated from 1845 and, therefore, must predate this. Pit 1012 was also dated from the 16th century and likely relates to waste disposal as was pit 1004. The evaluation at Land Adjacent to Church House, The Street, Kettlebaston revealed features dated from the post-medieval period which are associated with waste disposal and land division. The trial trenching has allowed an opportunity to add to the post-medieval record for the area, indicating the increase in land use sue to the expansion of small settlements in this period. |
