Abstract:
Between the 9th December 2015 and 8th February 2016 Oxford Archaeology East carried out excavations at Land East of Warren Hill, Saxmundham, Suffolk. The excavation of the first area, in the southern part of the site, did not encounter any significant remains with only a large clay filled pit yielding a small quantity of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flintwork. A substantial Early Bronze Age pit cluster was revealed in the second excavation area, in the northern part of the site, the fills of which produced rusticated, Beaker-type pottery and flintwork. Excavations here also uncovered the full extent of the Middle Iron Age Iron Age roundhouse found during the evaluation. A further Middle Iron Age roundhouse and associated pitting activity were also revealed. Unexpectedly, the excavation of this area also demonstrated the presence of a significant Early Saxon settlement. A large rectangular post-built structure, possibly representing a hall, and nine sunken-feature buildings were revealed. The post-built and sunken-feature buildings contained pottery from the early 6th century AD. Furthermore, the sunken-feature building deposits yielded finds indicating cloth weaving, crop processing, horn-working and antler-working activities. The Area 2 excavation was extended at the expense of the proposed third area of excavation so that the limit to the Early Saxon settlement could be better defined. The remains encountered in this excavation are of local and regional significance, providing the first direct evidence for the Early Saxon origins of Saxmundham and giving a rare insight to an Early Bronze Age non-funerary site in Suffolk.
