Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Orwell Housing Association ahead of a new housing development on the east side of Thorpe Morieux in Suffolk. Three trenches were excavated to provide a 5% sample of the area. The project recovered evidence of several archaeological features located within each of the three trenches. The features consisted of two gullies and three ditches, one of which was observed to run between Trenches 2 and 3. Finds were scarce however the pottery that was recovered was of prehistoric date. Nonetheless the prehistoric artefacts are likely to be residual and the features are probably of medieval or later date; the features on the whole were observed to truncate the subsoil. The few finds represent a small concentration of prehistoric material in the western side of the site. |
