Abstract: |
The building of a double garage on 41 Northagte Street, Bury St Edmunds was subject to a an a Watching Brief as part of a planning condition on application SE/06/2856. The property is located towards the North Gate of the old medieval town. It is set at a height of c. 32m OD, in a built-up area. The evidence from this site is similar to that found at other locations close by on Northgate Street. The uneven shape at the bottom of the trenches is almost certainly the result of gravel extraction. This seems to have occurred piecemeal by the digging of individual pits which became linked over time creating an undulating, reduced, ground surface. The area including the pits was then infilled with domestic (?) waste from the town. This layer is undated. No pottery was seen, although the monitoring was not intense, but there were a few finds of oyster shell animal bone and fragments of peg tile. None of these finds were recovered but it is suggested that the tile is Post medieval. |
