Abstract: |
In December 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Areas 1 and 2, Land East of Moreton Hall, Suffolk (NGR TL 8855 6430; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey and was carried out as part of a requirement for further information to be provided prior to the determination of a planning application (DC/14/1881/HYB) for residential development. The evaluation is required by the Local Planning Authority, based on advice from SCC AS-CT. The Suffolk Historic Environment Record confirms that the site lies within an area of archaeological potential. Prehistoric remains are known in and around the site (HER BRG 009, BRG 024 and RGH 065), along with Roman, Saxon and medieval sites being known in similar topographic locations to the immediate west and north (HER BRG 024-7 and RGH 031). A geophysical survey has been carried out this year on Areas 2 and 3 of the proposed development (Stratascan 2014). Anomalies of potential archaeological interest were recorded within Area 2, which may be associated with the edge of the medieval Catshall Green. Twenty five features were recorded, principally ditches. An undated pit (F1008 (Tr.3)) and an undated posthole (F1062 (Tr.24)) were recorded. The other discrete features (Pits F1006 (Tr.3) and F1025 (Tr.7) and Quarry Pit F1014 (Tr.3)) were modern. Three dated, medieval, features were recorded (Ditch F1022 (Tr. 15), Ditches F1049 and F1057 (Tr. 24). The ditches in Trench 24 were associated with a series of ditches traceable in Trenches 24, 25, and 27. These boundary ditches were identified by the geophysical survey. Settlement evidence associated with the medieval Catshall Green was recorded and the features in Trenches 15 and 30 have the most potential in this respect. |
