Abstract: |
In July 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a targeted archaeological desk-based assessment and trial trench evaluation at Cornhill, Ipswich, Suffolk (NGR TM 162 446). The evaluation was commissioned by the client in advance of proposals to regenerate Ipswich Cornhill, and to provide information on the potential archaeological implications of the proposals. The evaluation revealed a relatively high density of features in both trenches. The features comprised pits and postholes. The latter, particularly in Trench 2, may be indicative of structural remains. The archaeological features are 0.50 - 1.20m below the current ground surface and are well preserved. The features contained predominantly early 8th - mid 9th century pottery, and also mid 9th - 12th century, 11th - 13th century, and mid 12th - mid 14th century pottery. They contained between 1 and 5 sherds of pottery. Associated finds comprise CBM, animal bone and shell. A fragment of slag and a medieval copper alloy button were also found. Sparse residual struck flint was also recovered. The evaluation raises questions about the use of the area through the saxon and medieval periods. |
