Abstract: |
In May 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Vinefields Farm, East Close, off Eastgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1UQ (NGR TL 8620 6440; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site comprising the construction of 73 residential units and associated access, garaging and public open space (St Edmundsbury Borough Council Planning Ref. SE/11/0368). The site lies within an area of archaeological potential highlighted on the Suffolk Historic Environment Record (HER), on the edge of the medieval and post-medieval town, and on the valley side which would have also been a favourable location for early settlement. The HER records prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval finds from a site nearby (HER BSE 026) on a site at East Close, including a building with a flint rubble wall, pits and ditches, flint lines well, and residual early and later Saxon pottery sherds and a gully containing Bronze Age/Iron Age pottery. In the event the evaluation revealed a sparse number of undated features (Tr.1 F1026, Tr.3 Ditch F1019 and Tr.7 Gully 1024). The remaining features were modern (post 1750 AD); several were likely associated with the construction of the nearby A14. |
