Abstract: |
This archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) has been prepared in response to a planning enquiry for development at St Clement's Hospital, Foxhall Road, Ipswich. The DBA includes an examination of the Suffolk Historic Environment Record (HER), a documentary and cartographic search, re-assessment of aerial photographic evidence and a site walkover. The proposed development area (PDA) is located on the east side of Ipswich on land that remained in agricultural use until the construction of the hospital in 1868-70. There have been isolated finds of prehistoric material within a 500m radius of the PDA and a major Palaeolithic site was excavated nearby in the early 20th century. However, no formal excavations have been undertaken in this area in modern times. The aerial photographic evidence reveals crop marks in a field about 500m to the east of the hospital suggesting intensive former land use that might extend into the PDA. |
