Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of fifteen 30m long, 1.8m wide trenches positioned to provide a representative sample of the entire development site. Trench depths varied between 0.5m - 0.9m as colluvial layers were sometimes present. In September/October 2022, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Shottisham Hall Farm, Alderton Road, Shottisham, Suffolk involving the excavation of fifteen trenches.
The trenches revealed small undated ditches/gullies within the northern trenches and a large medieval enclosure ditch and quarry pit within the southern trenches. Sparce finds of Prehistoric, Roman and medieval pottery were recovered from the features and medieval and post-medieval metal work was recovered from the topsoil. |
