Abstract: |
On the 15th of January 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Julian Tuzinkiewicz. The archaeological work was required as a condition of planning application DC/19/05810, for the construction of 3 dwellings at Land at Kiln Farm, Kiln Lane, Elmswell, Suffolk (TM 98454 62833). The evaluation was undertaken in response to a design brief issued Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS) (Stewart, G. 26th February 2020), requiring a programme of linear trial trenching to sample 5 % of the area threatened by development. This was achieved by excavating a single 40.00m x 1.80m trench and two 30.00m x 1.80m trenches. The site had moderate potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric and post-medieval periods and a low potential for features and finds relating to all other periods. Despite the above potential, the evaluation only encountered one ditch and a large extraction pit of likely late post-medieval date. The ditch is visible on 19th century OS maps as the previous northern boundary to the site and cuts the extraction pit (the current boundary us located just further north). The extraction pit is likely related to activity at the brickworks which was located adjacent to the site (indicated on 19th century OS maps until 1974). Similar extraction pits are also indicated on OS maps in close vicinity to the site from 1884. Several post-medieval brickworks and kilns have previously been identified from OS maps within 500m of the site (WPT 072, WPT 022, WPT 021, WPT 023) and the name of the site itself, Kiln Farm Cottage, is an indicator of the past industrial activity in and around the site. |
