Abstract: |
From the 26th February - 3rd March 2020, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Land at the Broadway, Back Lane, Badwell Ash, Suffolk Despite the above potential, the evaluation encountered few archaeological features and finds. There were a number of undated features present at the site. In Trench 6, Possible pit 1011 does not appear to bear any spatial relation to the other features encountered. While Pit 1006 and Ditch 1008 it is possible that they could be added to the Roman phase below. Ditch 1008 is on the same broad alignment as ditch 1004 in trench 5 and both features proximately to the archaeology already encountered to the east in the previous excavations should be considered. Two dated phases of activity have been identified. The first phase is broadly dated to the Roman period and is represented by Ditch 1004 and Layer 1014. Layer 1014 is interesting; it produced the largest quantity of finds on the site and would seem to be the remains of a former Roman soil. This potentially buried soil is isolated on the site and likely survived in this area as it had been introduced into the top of natural feature 1013. The CBM recovered indicates (comparably to the adjacent site) that there is undoubtedly a significant Roman structure in the vicinity of the sites. The second phase of activity is associated with the post medieval agricultural use of the site as a field. |
