Abstract: |
A single storey extension to the rear of The Priory, Blythburgh (TM 4519 7534, BLB 070), required a programme of archaeological monitoring to be undertaken. The property is located within the village of Blythburgh, a settlement of probable Saxon origin, and was constructed in a number of phases. A medieval chapel, sits at the west side, with a 17th century farmhouse, a rebuilt 15th century timber framed property, and early 20th century additions making up the remainder of the house. A small ruined medieval priory is located in the gardens. The extension required footings that were hand dug and inspected during and after excavation. Part of a human burial, thought to be at least late medieval or post medieval in date, was encountered at the base of the footing, beneath a layer of 19th century pottery and waste. This was re-covered and left in situ, as the whole body could not be exposed without further excavation, and would not be directly affected by the subsequent raft foundations. No medieval evidence was revealed, despite the location of the site in relation to the priory and the church |
