Abstract: |
Following an evaluation in 1999, excavation was carried out at three sites in advance of housing development at Moreton Hall East, Bury St Edmunds, in 2000 and 2002. One site was aimed at locating further evidence of prehistoric activity but revealed no archaeological evidence. The remaining two areas were placed to trace the boundary line of Catsale Green, previously identified in the evaluation and at BRG 032 to the east. A scatter of isolated, pre-medieval, features were identified, including a Middle Saxon burial of a possible murder victim. The bulk of the features identified were of a medieval date (11th-15th century) and consisted of a network of field boundaries or enclosures and an area of industrial or occupation activity consisting of two ovens or kilns surrounded by rubbish pits and limited evidence of a post built structure. These features were all situated within the area of the medieval green and are assumed to predate it. A double ditch system of post-medieval date, a continuation of the ditches seen in BRG 032, was identified forming the southern edge of the Green. A north-south ditch with a possible entranceway was also identified as forming part of the western edge of the Green. The ditch fills represent the final period of use and abandoment of the boundary. |
