Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of land at Nuffields Hospital, St Mary's Square, Bury St Edmunds Haverhill, identified a dense spread of archaeological features from a medieval phase of activity that has previously been identified in the broader vicinity. A clay lined oven or grain dryer, together with possible storage or rubbish pits, is further evidence that the area south of St Mary's Square was in use for semi-industrial/agricultural purposes such as food production or brewing, before later becoming domestic gardens in the post-medieval period. No evidence of the earlier Saxon settlement, believed to have been situated around St Mary's Square, was seen except for a minimal number of residual finds mixed in the later features. This suggests that evidence of Saxon occupation may be tightly concentrated around the frontage of St Mary's Square or Southgate Street. |
