| Abstract: |
Between 1st and 16th March and 31st October and 30th November 2012, Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd carried out two phases of archaeological excavation on the site of the new Felixstowe Academy School. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Balfour Beatty. The excavations found a Middle Bronze Age enclosure, one of the ditches of which contained a complete and deliberately inverted Middle Bronze Age Ardleigh Tradition bucket urn. An associated system of later prehistoric field boundaries, broadly dated to between the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, was also identified. Excavated and dated subdivided landscapes of Bronze Age and Early Iron Age date are rare in Suffolk and Norfolk. Single Romano-British and medieval (12th-14th-century AD) field boundary ditches were also present, as were post-medieval/ modern field boundaries which match those shown on late-19th-century Ordnance Survey maps. |
