Abstract:
This report describes the results of an archaeological excavation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at and adjacent to Mushroom Farm, High Road, Trimley St Martin, Suffolk (centred on OS NGR TM 2731 3744) between 29th October and 5th November 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to residential development. The aim of the work was to preserve by record any archaeological remains which would be damaged or destroyed by the new development. The fieldwork identified evidence for an Iron Age trackway, aligned northwest to southeast, and evidence of peripheral prehistoric domestic activity in the form of small-scale pitting. A series of nine postholes forming a rough line at the southeast edge of the trackway and aligned parallel to it perhaps indicate fencing or some other structure. The trackway sits within a widespread series of cropmarks, and formed part of a wider prehistoric landscape, when this area of Suffolk was subdivided for farming in the Middle to Late Bronze Age and continued into the Iron Age period. A programme of archaeological monitoring was also undertaken by PCA on the site between 24th November and 14th December 2015. This monitoring identified no archaeological activity.
