Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land south of Mildenhall Road and North East of Worlington golf club, Worlington, Suffolk. The archaeological work was commissioned by A.J. and R. Scamblers and Sons Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to development of the site. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the site. The evaluation identified thick deposits (in places up to 2m in depth) of peat across the area overlying a natural geology of sand. Narrow swathes of higher ground forming linear sand ridges were encountered in several trenches, suggesting the underlying topography may have been sculpted by glacial or palaeochannel activity. There were no surviving buried soils encountered on site and only a single ditch was revealed cut through one of these sand ridges. A residual late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flint was found within the ditch fill but no further finds were recovered from either the peat or the surface of the sand ridges. |
