Abstract: |
In October 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Aspal Lane, Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk (NGR TL 7024 7779). The evaluation was commissioned by Amy Richardson of Taylor Vinters on behalf of Aspal Limited and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development. The evaluation was required prior to the consideration of a planning application for housing, based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service - Conservation Team (Forest Heath District Council Planning Reference DC/13/0123/OUT). There was a fair correlation between the features recorded during the evaluation and the earlier geophysical survey, for example, Ditch F1019 (Trench.1) and the furrows in Trench 5 but the features in Trenches 2, 6 and 8 were not detected. Modern linear features, predominantly ditches and furrows, were recorded in Trenches 1 (F1019), 2 (F1023) and 5 (F1029, F1031 and F1033). Many undated pits, ditches and furrows were recorded in Trench 2 (Pits F1021 and F1025), Trench 5 (Furrow F1027), Trench 6 (Ditch F1037, Furrow F1041, and Pit F1039), and Trench 8 (Ditches F1008, 1010, 1012, Gully 1043 and Pit F1045). The undated features contained no finds. A medieval (11th -12th / 13th century) pit was recorded in Trench 8 (F1016) but it contained just two sherds of pottery and a small quantity of animal bone (34g). Trench 8 contained the majority of recorded features which were not furrows i.e. Ditches F1008, F1010, F1012, Gully F1043 and Pit F1045 and some or all of these features may be contemporary with Pit F1016 but none contained finds. A residual struck flint was found in modern Ditch F1029 (Trench 5). Peat and alluvial deposits were identified in Trench 2 and may merit further investigation. |
