Abstract: |
There was a proposal to create an 'inter-tidal habitat' on land beside the Orwell estuary at Trimley Marshes. The archaeological evaluation's first phase comprised two elements, a desktop assessment and fieldwork. The former constituted a detailed appraisal of the area's settlement history and archaeological potential. Field evaluation primarily took the form of a fieldwalking survey and systematic surface collection. Upon the basis of the results, selected areas were more intensively analysed through gridded sampling and a metal detector survey. The fieldwalking results indicated archaeological activity within the proposed development area, in particular what appeared to be a salt-working site of Late Iron Age or early Roman date (SMR TYN 073). Whilst a similar site had been identified previously nearby (SMR TYN 018), this was a new discovery. As a result of the findings it was recommended that site TYN 073 underwent further evaluation through trenching, with the possibility of full excavation if necessary. It was also recommended that further evaluation works be undertaken on other selected areas of archaeological potential. [AIP] |
