Abstract: |
During March 2011 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS), conducted an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) of land off Clifton Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk (NGR TM 543 921). The evaluation was undertaken in support of a planning application for the development of a medical facility and residential dwellings. The site lies to the west of Economy Road and north of Clifton Road and is located on the south side of Lake Lothing, recorded as the remnants of a possible medieval turbary (HER No: LWT 154). The evaluation revealed three early modern ditches and one undated ditch associated with site drainage and boundaries. The north-west corner of the site was truncated likely resulting in the removal of a layer of desiccated peat. Several large modern pits were also present in this area. The layer of desiccated peat and 'iron panning' podsolisation in the eastern half of the site suggests an area of prolonged groundwater saturation which was likely drained with digging of the early modern ditches. |
