Abstract: |
In April 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land south of Kirton Sewage Works, Drunkard's Lane, Kirton, Suffolk. A total of twenty-two trenches were excavated, with archaeological deposits identified within eleven. Cropmarks have previously been recorded in the south-eastern area of site and within the surrounding fields, several ditches identified within Trenches 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22 may be linked to these, but remain undated. The archaeological features were generally encountered in the south-eastern area of the site, with the exception of a small undated pit which was identified in the north within Trench 1. Of the twenty-four features, fourteen were ditches, nine were pits and one was a posthole. Finds recovered across the site were generally low, with majority of the features excavated devoid of datable material. The Prehistoric activity present on site included Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery recovered from a ditch in Trench 12 and several flakes of struck flint recovered from a pit and a posthole within Trench 13. The Medieval activity on site was restricted to a single pit within Trench 15, which contained sherds which comprised a single exceptionally large early Medieval jar/ cooking pot. |
