Abstract: |
In February 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at land south of Hopton Road (LDF Site RV11A), Barningham, Suffolk (NGR TL 971 769; Figs.1 - 2). The evaluation was commissioned by Hopkins Homes Ltd and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development. It was required to prior to the determination of a planning application, and based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team requiring a programme of archaeological work. Archaeological features were recorded in the south-eastern corner of the site (within Trench 3 and the southern end of Trench 2). The features were principally linears (ditches and also gullies). Discrete features (pits) were recorded though none contained finds. Ditch F1019 contained a single struck flint and six struck flints were found in Topsoil L1000. The latter includes a multi-directional core (with at least four striking platforms) formed on a small nodule/pebble, and a thumb-nail scraper; both of which are characteristic of lithic technology in the early Bronze Age (Struck Flint report below). The flint is tentatively dated to the later Neolithic to early Bronze Age. Proceeding chronologically, Ditches F1015 and F1027 (Tr.3), and Gully F1031 (Tr.2) contained early Iron Age pottery. Ditch F1015 and Gully F1031 contained 2 and 1 sherd respectively. Ditch F1027 contained 21 sherds, largely derived from a single vessel (Pottery Report below). These features are dispersed within Trenches 2 and 3. Small quantities (1 - 2 sherds) of Roman pottery were found in Ditches F1005, F1007 and F1009 (located at the eastern end of Tr. 3). |
