Abstract: |
A design brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS) (Baker, M. 13th December 2019) required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample the area threatened by the development. The sample was achieved by excavating 17 trenches measuring 30.00m x 1.80m and one trench measuring 15.00m x 1.80m (Fig. 5). A further trench was excavated at the request of SCCAS to investigate the presence of the continuation of linear features in the south east of the site. The evaluation successfully identified two phases of activity on the site: Phase1 was the most significant phase of activity recorded on the site, with four features being dated 12th-14th century. Ditches 1009 and 1012 in trench 16 possibly from part of an enclosure, meeting at a right angle just beyond the western limit of the trench. The ditches likely represent an enclosure associated with quarrying activity. Pit 1014 in trench 17 was likely a quarry pit representative of quarrying activity to retrieve clay deposits for building purposes. Phase 2 was represented by two ditches within trench 7. These ditches represent a previous field boundary subdividing the interior of the field in a half on a northeast to southwest orientation. The ditches are a continuation of a boundary visible on the 1893 OS Map |
