Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation carried out on land off of Skeltons Drove, Beck Row, Mildenhall, identified two main phases of activity in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and post-medieval periods. Prehistoric activity, including a scatter of pits and postholes and a 7.5m diameter roundhouse with associated human cremation and possible south-east facing entrance, was seen to focus upon two natural peat-filled hollows within the fen-edge landscape. A 16th/17th century domestic building with hearth, possible storage shafts and a rectilinear post-built outbuilding, was also identified fronting onto Skelton's Drove. Recommendations have been made for the site to be considered in any future publication of the adjacent MNL 502, MNL 598 and MNL 618 sites. |
