Abstract: |
In December 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation in advance of the construction of a new residential development on land off Lime Avenue, Oulton, Suffolk (NGR TM 518 941). The evaluation was required by Waveney Borough Council and based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC ASCT). The dating of features is tentative due to the occurrence of small quantities of pottery and other finds. Seventy eight features were recorded. The majority of features were linears (ditches, ditch terminals and gullies). Discrete features (pits) were common and structural remains (post and stakeholes) were also recorded. A possible sunken featured building was recorded in Trench 108. The earliest features were prehistoric. Early Bronze Age pottery was present in Pit F1088 (Trench 105), and late Bronze Age/ early Iron Age pottery occurred within Posthole F1033 (Trench 85). Sparse struck flint numbering 1 - 3 pieces were found in several features (Trenches 52, 67, 82, 114, 117 and 163). Five features contained Early - Middle Saxon (mid 5th - 9th century) pottery, and five features contained Saxo-Norman (10th - 12th century) pottery. A possible sunken featured building (SFB) was recorded in Trench 108. Many of the Saxon features were discrete features (pits) as opposed to linears, and they included a possible hearth (F1081 Trench 108) and a sunken featured building (SFB, Trench 108). Trenches 64, 83 - 84 and 108 - 109 which contained the discrete Saxon features were located in close proximity. Pit F1114, and from the surface of the SFB, produced the largest number of sherds (34 and 12 sherds respectively). CBM, animal bone and a ?rubbing stone were also found within Pit F1114. |
