Abstract: |
In November 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook an archaeological excavation at land to the west of Church Farm, Buxhall Road, Brettenham, Suffolk. The site had good archaeological potential, especially for remains of medieval and post-medieval date, based on previously recorded sites and finds in the area and the results of a forerunning archaeological trial trench evaluation, also conducted by AS. In the event the excavation encountered an area of enclosed medieval (12th to 14th century AD) activity, including at least two rectilinear enclosures bounded by short lengths of possible trackway. The c. NE-SW/ NW-SE alignments of the medieval boundaries mirrored those of adjacent Buxhall Road and The Street. A number of pits and postholes and a single ?pond were also assigned to this phase. The north-westernmost medieval enclosure contained the remains of a possible post-built structure; perhaps a simple agricultural building, animal pen or shelter. It is thought that the medieval site represents a toft and croft-type peasant holding. |
