Abstract: |
Monitoring of flood defence works at Buss Creek, Southwold, was required to record any archaeological and palaeo-environmental deposits revealed by the various groundworks. A series of test holes observed showed no pre-modern interventions. Cleaning out of a section of Buss Creek revealed a series of large, upright oak planks. Four of these were extracted and their worked ends removed for further study. Dendrochronolgy was unable to establish a date for these timbers, however, study of the worked joints present suggested a medieval date, post thirteenth century. It is likely that these timbers represent part of a quay or wharf structure or a revetment associated with wetland reclamation. It is believed that more of the site remains preserved in situ. |
