Abstract: |
Former NCP Car Park, St. George's Street, Ipswich (TM 1600 4485; IPS 502; IAS 7017) A trial trenching evaluation of the site has provided evidence regarding the natural topography of the site and the surviving archaeological deposits. The existing level floor surface in the standing building has been attained by a combination of truncation, towards the north end of the site, and building up to the south. Archaeological features were recorded in two of the trial-trenches. A ditch in a trench located towards the eastern end of the site was parallel to the existing road (St George St.) and was found to cut a pit. The pit included 10th/11th century pottery in its fill. One of the trenches towards the southern edge of the site, in an area where the site had been made up to the existing level, had two pits cut into its base, the larger of which included medieval (12th-14th century) pottery in its fill. The evaluation has confirmed that there is potential for archaeological deposits to survive intact over the majority of the site with truncation limited to the northern end. The archaeological features encountered were consistent with the known historical facts and comprise occupation deposits dating from the Late Saxon and medieval periods. |
