Abstract: |
In March 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a desk-based assessment and building recording at Folly Road, Great Waldingfield, Suffolk (NGR TL 9080 4349). The programme of work was undertaken prior to the demolition of buildings on the site and a proposed residential development. The assessment area is identified as of potential archaeological importance through the presence of 4 or 5 probable prehistoric ring ditches, most notably WFG 012 and 005 located between c.250-500 metres north of the assessment site and WFG 020 c. 500 metres to the north-east. An undated rectangular enclosure is also located c.250 to the north (WFG 004) and a field system is c.250 metres north-west of that (WFG 013) with a shrunken village (WFG 026) beyond. Metal detected finds of the Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods were recovered to the east of the assessment site (WFG 027). A stand-by set house, gymnasium, airmen's latrines and a meat and ration store are all that remain of RAF Sudbury's Communal Area 3. Retained for agricultural purposes after WW II the buildings display widespread modifications as well as signs of being ravaged over time by decay and vandalism. Redundancy and neglect have reduced the buildings to incoherent structures with their original form and function little evident. |
