Abstract: |
Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken on land opposite 18-30A Aldeburgh Road, Leiston, Suffolk, in advance of proposed residential development. Thirty-two evaluation trenches were excavated across the 5ha development area, some targeting geophysical survey anomalies. The trenching revealed the presence of a low level of prehistoric remains which were generally widely scattered across the area other than a small concentration in the north-east corner of the site. The remains were not closely dated but appear to be Late Bronze Age and consist of a widely-spaced pits and ditches/gullies that might be remnants of a contemporary field system. The recovery of residual struck flints of Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flint date implies that flint working had taken place in this area in an earlier prehistoric period. |
