Abstract:
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the fourth phase of works at Nacton Quarry, Nacton, Ipswich in order to observe and record any surviving archaeological deposits. Three previous phases had produced fairly negative results: Phases 1 and 2 had been subjected to considerable quarrying in the past and the third area had evidence of tree holes over the whole site, suggesting it had been a wood for some time. A few ditches and modern fog lifters were seen scattered over the area of Phase 3 and were dated as prehistoric through to modern. Also a large area of hillwash was seen which contained sherds of mainly Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age pottery. One ditch was dated as probably Middle Saxon and was likely to have been an enclosure ditch. The fourth phase produced more features and finds than the previous archaeological works at the quarry. There was no obvious structural evidence revealed as the majority of features were ditches, either undated or prehistoric in date. The features revealed comprised mainly ditches and possible enclosures, the likely scant remains of field systems from an extensive date range of between 3500BC and 300BC. A single pit appeared to have been deliberately excavated to receive a deposit of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery. This pottery consisted of three different vessels, broken before being placed in the pit. These latest features are close to probable prehistoric features identified from aerial photographs in adjacent fields. It is unclear if they directly relate, but certainly reflect a focus of prehistoric activity in this area.
