Abstract: |
The conversion of 5 Honey Hill from a public building to a private house (planning application SE/07/1791) was subject to an archaeological monitoring condition set out in a Brief and Specification issued by Robert Carr (Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, Conservation Team). 5 Honey Hill was a well built property, substantial elements of which date from the late medieval period. It occupies land that falls between the suggested site of an Anglo-Saxon market at St Mary's Square and the South gate of the Abbey onto which it faced. The recording of a footing running across the garden of No.5 Honey Hill exposed the remains of at least two building extensions. The latest comprised a mortar and rubble foundation for sill beams that is dated from the late 18th century, over an earlier floor of clay. At least two pits predating the clay floor were identified but not excavated. |
