Abstract:
Fifteen trial trenches were excavated across the c.1.8 hectare development area. No archaeological remains of prehistoric, Roman, Saxon or medieval date were identified. Post-medieval remains were restricted to the south-east of the area and consisted solely of a post-medieval field boundary ditch which ran parallel to the modern day road. Recovered brick fragments and the fact that the ditch did not show on early mapping suggests that it pre-dated the 19th century. Other remains of modern date in the north of the site are likely associated with the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway which opened in 1904 and was in operation for about 50 years. Of note, were a series of parallel depressions overlain by ashy material which may be related to the former track bed of the railway. Truncation of deposits in this area may also have occurred during railway construction. The evaluation has determined that few archaeological remains are present on site and broadly reflects the sparse nature of known remains in the surrounding area. Prior to the construction of the railway the site would only appear to have been in agricultural use.
