Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out on the proposed route of a new perimeter road on the north west side of the runway at RAF Mildenhall. Primary interest in the area is based upon its location close to the settlement-rich fen edge particularly the sports field built on 30 Acre Field, which has recently been subject to extensive excavations (Site Code MNL532. The work was funded by Defence Estates USAF (MILH004407). An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of construction work on a new perimeter road. The evaluation uncovered a range of features with a particular concentration at the western end of the road. Only a single ditch was sampled as the appearance of the features alone was sufficient to establish a similarity with those found beneath the base sports field (MNL 532) that date from later prehistory and through the Roman period. |
