Abstract: |
In July 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land east of Barrow Hill, Barrow, Suffolk (TL 7670 6310). The survey was commissioned to inform and support a planning application for a residential development. The principal features recorded during the evaluation were medieval (12th - 14th century). Trenches 12, 13 and 17, located on the western side of the southern sector of the site, each contained four or five medieval features. At some slight distance Trenches 10 and 11 each contained a medieval feature. The majority of the dated medieval features were ditches, but discrete features were also recorded: Pit F1035 (Trench 13), Pit F1014 and Post Holes F1019 and F1021 (Trench 17). The latter are indicative of structural remains and daub was found within Ditches F1005, F1007 (Trench 22) and F1037 (Trench 13). Undated pits were recorded in Trenches 12 (F1082) and 17 (F1010, F1012 and F1023) and may be associated with the medieval remains. Trench 22 contained Ditches F1003, F1005 and F1007. The three ditches were part of the same interrupted enclosure identified during the geophysical survey. Ditch F1007 contained medieval pottery. Ditches F1003 and F1005 however, contained Late Medieval Transitional pottery (15th- 16th centuries), and a sherd of post-medieval glazed red earthenware (as well as residual medieval sherds). There was no evidence of internal features, and further investigation of the enclosure would resolve its dating and function. |
