Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of 62 dwellings at land at Ellough Road, Beccles in order to characterise the nature of any surviving archaeological deposits. The archaeological condition was enforced without a Brief and Specification due to a planning error, meaning only a small sample of the site was available for inspection. The site lies some 1km south east of the medieval town of Beccles (BCC 018) and close to a number of find spots including Roman and Bronze Age pottery (BCC 008) recorded on the county Historic Environment Record. Four trenches were excavated over the site, but all were dug through layers of modern and extensive contamination and disturbance. No archaeological evidence was revealed, and it is likely much of the site was disturbed by this contamination. Subsequent monitoring concluded the contamination was widespread, and no archaeology was revealed. |
