Abstract: |
CFA Archaeology Ltd carried out a trial trench evaluation on an area proposed for housing to the rear of 34-48 Old Station Road in Halesworth, Suffolk. The work was carried out between the 27th and 29th of September 2017 for Lanpro on behalf of their client. The work revealed a series of ditches and gullies on the east side of the site aligned in two directions representing a rectangular field system including a possible square enclosure on the north-facing side of the valley. Small quantities of pottery retrieved from the remains gave an 11th century date. Animal bone present in ditches suggested they were related to stock enclosures rather than arable fields. Close to the centre of the eastern side of the site was a post-hole and pit filled with charcoal-rich material, evidence of burning. The gully to the south contained a similar fill; the features and fills are thought possibly to derive from occupation activity in the nearby vicinity. |
