Abstract: |
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Orion Heritage to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Great Wilsey Park, Haverhill, Suffolk prior to the proposed development of the site. Three hundred and fourteen trenches were excavated. Archaeological remains were concentrated around the central areas, with prehistoric and Iron Age activity represented by a number of isolated pits in the south and east along with two possible field systems in the central-western and south-eastern areas. A possible small industrial kiln and enclosure lay in the western-central area and a possible dwelling and hearth were observed in the central eastern area. Medieval (12th and 13th century) activity was concentrated in two distinct areas and was probably associated with the surrounding landscape of two nearby moated sites. No later medieval activity was present, and only limited post-medieval activity was identified. No deposits of conclusively Roman date were observed. A large number of trenches contained either no archaeological remains, or only post-medieval/modern land boundaries as depicted on the 1881 and 1905 Ordnance Survey Historic maps. |
