Abstract: |
In September 2008, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted an archaeological desk based assessment of land at Manor Farm, Tostock Road, Beyton, Suffolk (NGR TL 935 634) in advance of redevelopment of the site for ten residential dwellings with garages and improved access (Planning ref: 1270/05). The assessment was carried out prior to a programme of archaeological trial trench evaluation. The desk-based assessment demonstrated considerable potential for archaeological remains to be encountered on the assessment site. There is little evidence for Prehistoric and Roman activity in the area of Beyton suggesting there was no permanent settlement in either of these periods, although this lack of evidence could be due to little development instigating any archaeological investigation. Local historians suggest that the Church of All Saints may have been constructed in the Anglo-Saxon period although there is no archaeological evidence of this or of any Saxon activity in Beyton. The early medieval village is likely to have been concentrated close to the Norman church. It is probable that this settlement was later relocated north surrounding the rectangular green at the meeting point of the three roads. The location of Manor Farm, fronting onto the possible medieval green indicates a high potential to discover medieval remains. Similarly, remains associated with the post-medieval Manor Farm are also likely to be encountered. Cartographic sources suggest that the site was moderately developed in the post-medieval and modern period which will have truncated archaeological remains. However, the northern part of the site is likely to have remained relatively undeveloped and the potential of finding well preserved remains would be enhanced in that area. |
