Abstract:
As per the WSI (appended to this report), seven trial-trenches were laid out across the development site, providing a 5% sample of the site. The trenches were mechanically excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist, and all archaeological horizons were excavated and recorded according to the WSI. There was sufficient excavation to give evidence for the period, depth and nature of all archaeological deposits. Individual records of deposits were entered on pro-forma record sheets. The evaluation trenches were surveyed by GPS with sections drawn by hand at 1:10. All trenches were digitally photographed with a scale and north arrow. A metal detector was used to check trenches, spoil heaps and excavated strata. An archaeological evaluation (seven trial-trenches) was carried out on land south of Field View, Ashfield Road, Elsmwell, Suffolk in advance of the construction of six new dwellings. The development site is located to north of the village Elmswell, with a historic green known as Boten Haugh Green (EWL 061) which dates back to at least the 12th century. The evaluation uncovered 13 features, two ditches, a gully and ten pits. Post-medieval/modern finds were recovered from one ditch, the rest of the features were undated.
