Abstract: |
The site was on gently sloping land in an area of mostly heavy clay soils derived from the underlying Lowestoft Till. It was located to the west of the historic route between Stowmarket and Thorney Green. The evaluation confirmed and enhanced the results of the geophysical survey, revealing archaeological remains of a medieval roadside settlement represented by a system of ditched enclosures and associated pits, with some shallower ditches that might have partially defined building plots. A domestic finds assemblage included mostly coarseware pottery of 11th to 14th-century date, some lava stone quern fragments, animal bones and other food waste such as charred grains of wheat and barley. |
