Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land behind 85 Guildhall Street on St Andrews St South, Bury St Edmunds. The work was carried out in accordance with a Brief and Specification issued by Abby Antrobus (Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, Conservation Team) Funding was provided by the developer, the Guildhall dental practice. The proposal was to develop the site of the car park and garden as part of the dental practice. A field evaluation was carried out on land behind 85 Guildhall Street, Bury St Edmunds. A north south trench uncovered a chalk surface which is likely to be medieval in date that was later buried by material dispersed when the town bank was levelled. There was a possible ditched property boundary at the southern end of the trench into which a flint wall that was either medieval or early post-medieval was built. A possible well may have been of similar date. Other pits including a brick lined cess pit may date from the early 19th century. An east-west trench close to St Andrews Street exposed the edge of the town ditch and the continuation of the property boundary that marked the former course of the town wall. It also revealed a buried soil and some of the town bank which dated from the 12th century. |
