Abstract: |
In March 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation and continuous archaeological monitoring and recording of groundworks associated with the proposed new habitat creation on land at Deadman's Grave, Icklingham, Suffolk, as part of the A11 Fiveways to Thetford Improvement Scheme (NGR TL 77865 73987). The archaeological investigations were undertaken to comply with a requirement of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). Despite the high potential for archaeological remains of prehistoric date the trial trench evaluation and subsequent monitoring revealed only a pit with prehistoric struck flint and an undated ditch. These features were both shallow and located in the area of deeper soil (Subsoil L1001) which traversed the site diagonally. The preservation of features beneath a deeper soil suggests that if any features were present elsewhere they may have been lost to ploughing. That said, the fieldwalking produced only two later Neolithic - Early Bronze Age pottery sherds and modern finds. Trenches 3 and 4 were located close to the possible barrows to investigate whether there ware adjacent burials or cremations. Neither trench contained archaeological features or finds. |
