Abstract: |
In December 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Rathmoy Stables, Hamilton Road, Newmarket, Suffolk (NGR TL 628 635). The evaluation was commissioned by KWA Architects (Cambridge) Ltd as a requirement of a planning condition attached to planning approval to re-develop the existing stables into new stables and equine facilities. The evaluation was required to provide information prior to the determination of the planning application (Forest Heath District Council, Planning Approval Ref. DC/14/1970/FUL). The Suffolk Historic Environment Record confirms that the site lies within an area of archaeological potential. Within 100m of the site are previously recorded Bronze Age burials (HER EXG 027) and another find spot of a prehistoric artefact (HER EXG 026). In the event the evaluation revealed an undated ditch, first recorded in Trench 3 (F1003) and then traced in Trench 8 (F1006). The ditch is undated. It contained animal bone, burnt flint and prehistoric struck flint; the latter not thought to be within a primary deposit. The finds within the ditch are suggestive of a prehistoric date. |
