Abstract: |
In October 2012 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Site 2, Suffolk Business Park, Kempson Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (NGR TL 879 635). The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a new service centre, bulk storage building, access and parking. It was required to comply with a condition attached to planning approval (St Edmundsbury Borough Council Planning Ref. SE/12/0487) The site lies within an area of archaeological potential highlighted on the Suffolk Historic Environment Record (HER). Investigations prior to the construction of a new postal sorting/delivery office to the north revealed evidence of Neolithic occupation (HER RGH 044). Excavations to the north west revealed Iron Age and medieval occupation evidence, the latter including successive large dwellings from the late 13th/early 14th century onwards (HER BSE 131). A Bronze Age flint scatter is also recorded to the south (HER RGH 043). In the event Trench 10 contained two, shallow, parallel undated gullies (F1003 and F1005). A struck flint was found within the topsoil of Trench 8. |
