Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was carried out on land at Station Hill, Bury St Edmunds, in advance of proposed residential redevelopment. The evaluation consisted of nine trial trenches distributed across the c. 1ha site. Two trenches in the south of the site exposed mid- to late-19th-century foundations associated with railway buildings shown on the 1886 and later Ordnance Survey maps. No features or finds of archaeological interest were revealed in the remaining trenches, modern deposits and disturbed ground being encountered down to the level of the underlying sand and gravel geological deposits. Evidence was found for the terracing of the northern and southern slopes of the hill during the period of railway construction, while the hilltop has also been subject to disturbance/ removal of any soil horizons predating the mid-19th century. |
