Abstract: |
On the 21st of July 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of D Thayan. The archaeological work was required as a condition of application DC/21/0579, for the erection of a replacement dwelling and associated outbuilding, and the creation of a new access track with associated landscaping, hardstanding, and boundary treatments at Fairfield Farm, Marsh Lane, North Cove, Beccles, Suffolk (TM 471903) (Fig. 1). A design brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS) (Cutler, H. 18th May 2021) required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample the area threatened by the development. The sample was achieved by excavating three 10.00m x 1.80m trenches and one 5.00m x 1.80m trench across the footprint of the new building (Fig. 4). Trench 4 was originally intended to measure 10.00m in length but was reduced to 5.00m due to the presence of a live service. The site had a moderate to high potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. The potential for features and finds from all other periods was low. Despite the archaeological potential given the sites proximity to the Wade Hall moated site, no archaeological features were present. The evaluation encountered a modern layer of topsoil and a former agricultural subsoil representing the site's previous use as agricultural fields. |
