Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Lanwades Park, Kentford, Suffolk, CB8 7UU (NGR TL 699 664) between the 2nd and the 4th February 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation identified no archaeological features, but a number of geological features were discovered. These geological features consisted of large irregular circular hollows and a number of smaller linear hollows. Apart from a single residual struck flint, these contained no finds. These features are likely to be geological frost cracks which had silted up gradually over time, and were sealed by the subsoil. A geophysical survey (Schofield, 2014) identified a number of anomalies, with these anomalies correlating neatly with the silt hollows that were identified in the trenches. |
