Introduction
This collection comprises images, a site plan, spreadsheets and a survey statement from an archaeological evaluation of Land South of Chapelwent Road, Haverhill, Suffolk undertaken by Archaeology South-East between January and April 2019.
Archaeological trial-trench evaluation was carried out in advance of proposed residential development of the site. Following geophysical survey, which identified no anomalies of possible or probable archaeological origin, eighteen evaluation trenches were excavated across the 4.04ha site. Two trenches contained a low density of archaeological features and a third contained evidence of a possible palaeochannel, none of which were detected as geophysical anomalies. A small mitigation area, measuring c.327sq m, was targeted upon these remains. Four late medieval to early post-medieval gullies and one undated/natural pit were all located in the central part of the site, demonstrating low levels of land use activity, most likely of an agricultural nature.
