Abstract: |
The results of this DBA suggest that the PDA is in an area of high archaeological potential. The PDA adjoins and is part of the Abbey of St Edmund, a site of international significance. The site lies with the area of high archaeological importance, defined in the Replacement St Edmundsbury Borough Local Plan 2016 (Appendix B). The topographic location of the PDA adjacent to the historic river crossing of the main eastern route into Bury St Edmunds has a high potential for medieval settlement along the road frontage. The documentary evidence indicates that tanning and associated activities took place within the PDA. The well preserved evidence of the early post medieval tanning industry found at BSE 292 suggests that any material found within the PDA would be equally prolific and possibly even better preserved due to a lack of later development within the PDA. The location of the PDA close to the river within the floodplain significantly, increases the potential for waterlogged material or environmental evidence to survive. The PDA has the archaeological potential to lead to a greater understanding of the land-use, economy and development of this area of the town. |
