Abstract: |
In September and October 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Roger's Farm, Newton, Suffolk. the Suffolk Historic Environment Record records no known heritage assets within the proposed development site. A previous geophysical survey identified a former field boundary and a small number of discrete potential archaeological anomalies. The evaluation recorded two substantial Roman quarry pits. The backfill of one of these quarry pits contained large quantities of ceramic building material suggestive of the presence of a Roman building - such as a villa - in the vicinity, although no evidence for such a building was uncovered within the site, either by the evaluation or the geophysical survey. The evaluation also recorded the remains of medieval and last post-medieval/modern field systems. The evaluation results displayed a broad correspondence with the geophysical survey results, although there was a small number of archaeological features which had not been detected by the survey, as well as limited geophysical anomalies which were not found to correspond to below-ground archaeological remains. The evaluation recorded two substantial Roman quarry pits. The backfill of one of these quarry pits contained large quantities of ceramic building material suggestive of the presenceof a Roman building –such as a villa – in the vicinity, although no evidence for such a building was uncovered within the site itself, either by the evaluation or the geophysical survey.
