Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Stanton Nitrate Reduction Scheme, Stanton, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (NGR TL 947 703) between the 26th and the 27th September 2016. The evaluation identified no archaeological finds or features, nor indeed any trace of substantial human presence or activity in the past. Despite the many discoveries of (especially Roman and Saxon) activity in the near vicinity and the surrounding area's high archaeological interest, it would thus appear that this site remained vacant and predominantly unused by past peoples. The principal result of the evaluation was the recording of the (natural and cultural) stratigraphic sequence within the trenches, and the recording of changes identified within the natural geology, which provide interesting information about the changing nature of geology across the site, and have the potential to help with a more in-depth geographical reconstruction of the site in the future. |
