Abstract: |
On the 14th December 2017, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation by means of trial trenching at Land adjacent to Rede House, Blacksmith Road, Rede, Suffolk as part of a pre-planning investigation ahead of construction of a dwelling and cart lodge (NGR TL 580480 255900). The requirement for the evaluation consisted of linear trial trenching to sample the foot print of the proposed development. This took the form of an L-shaped trench, measuring 13.00m x 1.80m north-south and 5.00m x 1.80m east-west. The archaeological background for the site suggested that there would be a moderate to high potential for encountering features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval period. Despite the moderate to high potential for medieval activity on the site, no features from this period were encountered. The evaluation was successful in identifying a phase of activity dating to the late 19th century-early 20th century in the form of some small pits and ditches, the brick foundation of a small outbuilding (visible on OS maps from 1885-1904), and a large rubbish pit. The large rubbish pit represented the latest activity within this phase possibly associated with the demolition of the structure. |
