Abstract: |
The site was located on gently sloping ground in the south-eastern part of the town, close to the River Deben. The natural stratum was River Terrace Sand and Gravel. Possible occupation of the site in the prehistoric period was represented by a pit containing small amounts of struck flint, heat-altered flint and fired clay. Several postholes and a pit are likely to have been of early medieval date, although their significance is unclear. They were sealed by a sequence of modified soil horizons representing probable cultivation in the medieval and post-medieval periods. The first significant development of the site occurred in the 19th century, with the construction of a corn mill. Some of the brick foundations of this building and adjacent houses were recorded, truncating earlier deposits. Redevelopment of the site in the 1960s resulted in extensive additional destruction through the construction of concrete strip foundations and stanchion bases, and the insertion of services. |
