Abstract: |
In June 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation in advance of the construction of a new primary school (The Limes Primary Academy), Oulton, Suffolk (NGR TM 5190 9440; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was required by Waveney Borough Council and based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). Its purpose was to provide further information for the initial requirement of planning conditions which required a programme of archaeological work (Planning Approval Reference SCC/0228/16w). A geophysical survey (Egan 2014), trial trenching (Orzechowski 2015) and excavation (Mustchin 2016) have all been undertaken in the immediate vicinity of the site. During the previous archaeological investigations (geophysical survey (Egan 2014) and trial trenching (Orzechowski 2015)) archaeological features were recorded but the principal features were located in the southern sector of the middle field (Figs. 3 and 4), and these features were subject to an archaeological excavation (Mustchin 2016). Adjacent to the current phase of trenching within the new primary school site the earlier trial trenching revealed sparse archaeological features: Trenches 101, 102, 123 and 125 were all devoid of features. Trench 135 contained a natural hollow and Trench 134 contained an undated pit and an undate ditch. Within the area of the proposed new primary school Trench 133 was sterile, and Trench 126 contained a modern feature. The most recently cut trenches were sterile, except Trench 91 which contained an undated ditch. |
