Abstract: |
The results of archaeological excavation/monitoring of groundworks associated with extensions to The Bungalow, Rectory Road, Aldeby (Planning Ref: 2013/0328). These extensions took the form of single storey extension to the western side of the bungalow and a new lobby at the front of the house. The site is located close to the location of a Romano-British temple and an extensive complex of cropmarks (identified through aerial photography) which indicate prehistoric to Romano-British settlement in the immediate vicinity. Linear cropmarks of unknown date have been recorded immediately to the south and west of the site, with cropmark evidence for a Bronze Age cemetery site located just to the north. The presence of a single well defined ditch with a concave V-shaped profile was recorded, which was sealed below 0.7m of subsoil build-up. This ditch has not proved to be identifiable as an extension to any of the fragmentary linear features identified by cropmarks in the field to the south of the bungalow plot (NHER 16164). A group of postholes associated with a shallow feature, within which two of the postholes appear to be set, was discovered within the confines of the soakway trench. These features have been tentatively interpreted as forming part of a timber structure of likely medieval to early post-medieval date. A handful of medieval to early post-medieval pottery sherds were collected, along with a single sherd of prehistoric pottery of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date. |
