Abstract: |
This archaeological desk based assessment (DBA) has been undertaken in response to a proposal to redevelop the PDA. This DBA includes an examination of the Suffolk Historic Environment Record (HER), an aerial photographic survey and a historic map and documentary search. The results of this DBA suggest there is a moderate potential for encountering later prehistoric archaeological remains. There is also a moderate potential for encountering remains associated with the Second World War army camp in the western corner of the PDA. The potential of any archaeological remains present within the PDA to be preserved is thought to be high. Depending upon the proposed ground works archaeological mitigation could require a geophysical survey and evaluation trenches to identify and assess the character, density and depth of the archaeological deposits present and/or the monitoring of the ground works as they take place. The results of this evaluation would inform the decisions of the Council Planning Archaeologist to determine the need and scope for the next stage of archaeological works which could include full-scale excavation. Consultation with the County Council Planning Archaeologist should be at the earliest possible opportunity, as archaeological investigations can have considerable time and cost implications. This consultation will determine the actual program of archaeological works that would need to be carried out, which could include full-scale excavation. |
