Abstract: |
In January 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at land south of Burwell Road, Exning, Suffolk (NGR TL 613 656). It was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development and was required to support a planning application (Forest Heath District Council Planning Ref. F/2012/0552/OUT). To the south of the site a large scatter of prehistoric, Roman and medieval metalwork has been recorded, indicative of occupation (HER EXG 051). The majority of the evaluation trenches contained no archaeological features and finds, and the recorded features occurred in the north-eastern and central sectors of the site (Trenches 14, 16, 19 and 21). The majority of features contained no archaeological finds and are undated. Ditch F1009 and Gully F1015 contained a few (5 or less) sherds of 11th - 13th century pottery. The latter is abraded and may be residual, and therefore the dating of these features is not secure. Each feature also contained residual Roman pottery. The features are mostly linear (ditches and gullies). One undated pit (F1033 Tr. 16) and a possible pit (F1017 Tr. 19) were recorded. Interpretation of the features is uncertain as the majority are undated and isolated. There was a small correlation of the archaeological features with the geophysical survey data. Electromagnetic anomalies were attributed to archaeological features only in Trench 21 and possibly also in Trench 14. |
