Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land to the east of The Street, Bramford, Suffolk (NGR TM 12167 47127) between the 19th and the 23rd October 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Archaeology Collective on behalf of Cemex UK Properties Ltd in response to a brief from Rachael Abraham from Suffolk County Council Archaeology Service Conservation Team (SCCAS/CT). The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The evaluation identified features relating to two main periods of activity on the site: a later prehistoric field system (Bronze Age to Iron Age), aligned north-south and a medieval field system (c.11th-14th century) aligned northwest-southeast/northeast-southwest. Both phases of activity indicate that later prehistoric and medieval settlement were in close proximity, with these field boundaries likely representing outlying fields with the settlement activity focused to the south of the site around the historic core of Bramford village. |
