Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the creation of a Wheelchair Access Path at St Marys Church, Ickworth Park, Horringer, Suffolk (Planning Ref. SE/13/0113/FUL). No subsurface archaeological features or graves were encountered during the works; it appears that the western curtilage wall does indeed mark the western boundary of the medieval cemetery, with lower deposits sloping markedly down to the west - although this may have been emphasised by later post-medieval landscaping of soils outside of the cemetery area. A shallow sequence of deposits was recorded in the area of the north porch which included a recently infilled hollow path, cemetery soils and possible natural sandy-clay geology. Gently sloping deposits on the western side of the curtilage wall included natural clay below a possible archaic subsoil, buried below late post-medieval make-up. Two prehistoric flints in fresh condition were collected from the possible subsoil, which include a small scraper of possible Mesolithic date. Three sherds of medieval pottery were collected as residual finds in later soils which date from the 12th to 14th century. Other finds amount to two musketballs and a 1953 Threepence. |
