Abstract:
In January 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Quickthorns, Windmill Hill, Exning, Suffolk (NGR TL 627 658; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a dwelling (Forest Heath Council Planning Approval DC/17/0988/FUL). It was required based on the advice of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT) Only the southernmost trench, Trench 1 revealed archaeological features and it contained Pits F1004 and F1008, and Ditch F1011. Pit F1004 contained a struck flint flake with heavily rolled edges, possibly of Neolithic date; Pit F1008 contained a fragment of a sandstone grinding wheel with a relatively narrow diameter, possibly associated with grinding knives; and Ditch F1011 contained a post-medieval / modern fe. fragment. The preservation of the struck flint flake suggests it may be residual (Struck Flint report) and because of its technology the worked stone fragment is likely of post-medieval date. The profile of Ditch F1011 and the tip lines of its fill were similar to the cut of a mechanical excavator and the feature may represent a disturbance associated with the previous construction of the swimming pool.
