Abstract: |
49 evaluation trenches were excavated across the 4.6ha development area, some targeted on anomalies identified by a preceding geophysical survey.18 trenches contained archaeological remains. No features of demonstrably prehistoric date were identified, though the recovery of a small quantity of residual struck flint was retrieved. One pit in the north of the site might be Iron Age. The majority of recorded features were of Late Saxon/Early Medieval date (11th-12th century AD) and formed a clear concentration in the east of the site alongside Stowmarket Road. Comprising ditches, pits and possible structural remains, these may constitute occupation, such as a farmstead, alongside the former Roman road. Post-medieval ditch remains related to the mapped historic enclosed landscape. |
