Abstract: |
In April 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation in support of a planning application for the construction of housing at Limes Cottage and adjoining land, Kedington, Suffolk (NGR TL 706 470). The evaluation was required by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). There was a broad correlation of the archaeological features with the geophysical anomalies with ditches recorded in Trenches 2 and 3. Each trench contained archaeological features with the larger number being in the north-eastern quadrant of the site. The features were varied comprising a ditch, gullies, pits, a post hole and a stakehole. The dating evidence is consistently mid - late Iron Age. The pottery sherds generally occurred in small numbers (1 - 2 sherds), but Ditch F1017 (Trench 2) contained 22 sherds of pottery. Animal bone was found in association with the pottery. A struck flint was found in Ditch F1017 (Trench 2). The environmental evidence suggests that the archaeological features were peripheral to domestic occupation. |
