Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation at the Haymills site, Heath Road, Norton, Suffolk (NGR TL 955 655). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the demolition of the existing commercial buildings, and the construction of eight new residential dwellings and garages (Planning ref. Mid Suffolk District Council 2528/10). The locality is one lacking previous archaeological field work and research, but the site is on a valley slope in an area potentially favourable to early occupation. A ring ditch with a trackway leading towards it is located some 300-350m north-west of the site (NRN 015). The ring ditch lies adjacent to an area of field boundaries predating the modern ones. A fragment of polished Neolithic axe head was found in a garden 80m to the north-east (NRN 019), and a small Bronze Age metal hoard was found 550m to the north (NRN 006). The A1088 running through Norton is believed to follow the Roman Road Margery 330 (NRN 008). The evaluation revealed eight post-medieval or modern features associated with buildings fronting Heath Road and the recently-demolished modern building. |
