Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on land to the southeast of The Dell, Meadow Farm Lane, Hollesley in advance of the construction of a new house and associated infrastructure. Thirty-three features were excavated, including a modern pit and five modern postholes. The remaining twenty-seven features revealed a Late Iron Age/Early Roman agricultural landscape dating from the late 1st century BC to the late 1st century AD. Seven ditches represent at least three phases of a co-axial field system laid out to form separate fields or paddocks. Domestic waste found in eight pits also suggests that the site was located on the periphery of an unlocated settlement or farm. Of further interest were four pits containing burnt flint and stone, and a quantity of this material found residually in LIA/Roman features. Commonly associated with the prehistoric period these features and finds may represent an earlier phase of activity on the site. |
