Abstract: |
In October 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a targeted archaeological desk-based assessment, standing wall assessment and evaluation at the Priory Hotel, Tollgate Lane, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (NGR TL 8506 6599). The project was commissioned by the client in advance of proposals to alter and extend the hotel; and to inform the principle of the development of this site. The evaluation was required by the Local Planning Authority, based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service - Conservation Team and Historic England. The site also partially lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Babwell Friary and Historic England required the archaeological investigation to be carried out under Scheduled Monument Consent. Physical assessment of two sections of wall comprised the assessment of a large stretch of the medieval precinct wall extending north-east from the beyond the breakfast room. The curved section of wall is of a number of phases, the predominant visible fabric being post-medieval brick (17th to 19th century) and flint, the latter likely reused, with occasional pieces of reused medieval stonework. It is largely of a phase associated with the post-medieval buildings, though investigations below an area of raised ground might provide further evidence for its evolution and ascertain whether it follows a medieval wall line. Evaluation identified in situ burials |
