Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the disused tennis courts in Honeypot Meadow, just to the north of Bardolf Road, Bungay. The archaeological evaluation was conducted in response to a planning condition set prior to a proposed small residential development. The work was conducted on behalf of Wellington Construction Ltd. A single long evaluation trench was excavated through the centre of the old tennis court. Four features were observed and excavated: a large medieval pit was located at the northern end of the trench, while a small undated pit and two pits containing pig burials lay towards the southern end of the trench. The good condition off the bone in a sandy acidic environment suggested that the pig burials were reasonably recent, although they may have been buried prior to the 19th century, when the area was used for timber yards, before being used as a bowling club/tennis court in the 20th century. |
