Abstract: |
TT eval This wasFrom the 14th – 23rd March 2022, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Laurence Homes (Eastern) Limited ahead of the construction of a residential development of 64 dwellings and associated highway, car parking, and public open space at Land at Meadow Lane, Thurston, Suffolk (TL 9213 6559) (Fig. 1)
The site has a moderate to high potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric and post-medieval periods. There was a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the Roman period. The potential for finds and features from all other periods was considered low.
Only a single archaeological feature was identified in the evaluation. Ditch 1005 in Trenches 18 and 23. While no dating evidence was recovered from this ditch it can be seen on the 1840 Tithe Map (Fig. 14). It is possible that there was a boundary present here for far longer however without and further dating evidence this is just speculation.
Overall, the evaluation was successful in assessing the archaeological potential of the site. Due to the lack of surviving features, paucity of finds from both the topsoil and subsoil, this area was likely an agricultural hinterland for the village of Thurston well into the post medieval period.
