Abstract: |
In September 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a trial trench evaluation of 2.2 hectares of land at Cavendish Road, Clare, Suffolk (NGR TL 7772 4554). The evaluation was commissioned to inform and support a planning application for a proposed residential development., based on the advice of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). The evaluation followed a geophysical survey (Blagg-Newsome 2016). The latter identified three positive trending linear anomalies (1 - 3) which appear to form part of a coaxial field system of unknown date. A further positive anomaly (4) was identified which could represent an in-filled pit type feature or series of features. In the southern portion of the survey and potentially contemporary with the identified boundary ditches, were four fragments of possible ridge and furrow (5), which may be medieval in date. The evaluation largely confirmed the results of the geophysical survey. The coaxial field system identified may date to the Roman period with some later disturbance. A large pit was of post-medieval or modern date and truncated one of the Roman ditches. This pit may be a quarry pit possibly associated with Hall Farm nearby. Areas suggested as `blank' by the geophysical survey were confirmed, with the exception of a large post-medieval or modern boundary ditch located along the southern edge of the site and masked by magnetic disturbance along this edge. Anomalies in the southern sector of the site thought to be possible remnants of ridge and furrow proved to be modern land drains. |
