Abstract: |
In January 2019 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out continuous archaeological monitoring and recording at 19 Callis Street, Clare, Suffolk CB10 8PX (NGR TL 770 457). The monitoring was undertaken in fulfilment of a planning condition. The made ground overlay Foundation Trench F1010 and its later cut, F1009, at the eastern and 'lower' end of the site. Pits F1003 and F1005 were recorded in the north-western corner. The foundation trench contained a range of early post-medieval pottery including sherds from the frilled base of a Raeren stone ware jug, which indicate a date in the 16th - early 17th centuries. Limited quantities of contemporary brick and tile were associated with the pottery, and include a glazed fragment, potentially from a crested ridge tile. The latter suggests that a former structure contemporary with extant buildings on the High Street may have been present on the site, consistent with the site's location in the historic nucleus of the town. The pits also contained postmedieval pottery, residual medieval pottery, including cooking pots and a Hedingham war jug, suggesting that the post-medieval redevelopment in and around the site, may have represented a continuation of medieval activity in the core of the town. This evidence is similar to pits previously recorded at 9 Callis Street. |
