Abstract: |
Sudbury, Priory Stadium (TL 8706 4082; SUY 082). A trial trench evaluation was carried out at the above site in advance of residential development. 19 trenches (total area 584m2) were excavated, representing approximately 4% of the site. The evaluation revealed a sequence of sediments deposited by the River Stour and at least one former N-S watercourse that remained open until the 19th century. In places layers of cultivation soil and former topsoil sealed the sediments, demonstrating agricultural use of the site in the post-medieval period. Generally the site was covered by at least 1.0m of modern dumping associated with the construction and use of the Priory Stadium in the late 19th- and 20th centuries. |
