Abstract: |
In September 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land west of Church Farm, Buxhall Road, Brettenham, Suffolk IP7 7QP (NGR TL 967 541). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed erection of two new detached residential dwellings and garages. It was required by Babergh District Council, based on advice from SCC AS-CT (Planning Approval Ref. B/13/00435). The site lies on the southern side of the road, within the historic settlement core of Brettenham, and adjacent to the south of the medieval Church of St Mary (BTT 015/BTT 006). A medieval moated site may also be present at the Old Rectory School (HER BTT 018). The site thus has a potential for remains of the medieval and post-medieval settlement at Brettenham. In the event the archaeological features were recorded in each trench: Trench 1 (3); Trench 2 (2) and Trench 3 (7). Their distribution was skewed by the presence of five postholes in Trench 3. The features included linears (ditches and a gully) and discretes (pits and postholes). The dating evidence was sparse but consistent with medieval (11th - 13th and 12th - 14th century) pottery being found in each trench. Few other finds (animal bone, oyster shell and burnt flint) were present. |
