Abstract: |
In June 2008 Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological excavation of Part Former Livestock Market, Risbygate Street, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk (NGR TL 8511 6445). The excavation was undertaken in response to an archaeological condition attached to a planning permission (SE/04/1011/P) for the residential redevelopment of the site. The former livestock market is situated immediately to the south of buildings fronting the medieval road of Risbygate Street and to the west of buildings fronting St. Andrews Street, which follows the line of the medieval city wall. The trial trenching evaluation of the site in May 2008 revealed features ranging from the early medieval (c.1150AD - 1250AD) to the modern period (1900AD+) in date. The excavation revealed that the so-called palisade feature of the evaluation was a large pit in the vicinity of several other medieval extraction pits. Other notable finds included medieval boundary ditches, a large medieval to post-medieval cess pit, a post-medieval well, and an industrial area dating to all periods of the site which featured two kilns and a hearth. In all 185 features were excavated, most taking the form of ditches, pits, and post holes dating from the medieval through modern periods. |
