Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation on land south of Green Road, Haughley, Suffolk, between the 27th and 30th August 2019, in advance of housing development. The evaluation comprised 32 trial trenches, totalling 945m in length and providing a 4% sample of the site area. Nine of the trenches contained archaeological features (Trenches 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 17, 29 and 32). A well-preserved circular brick structure confirmed the presence of a post-medieval windmill, known from 19th-century cartographic sources, near the north-west corner of the site (Trench 1). A curvilinear ditch with a dark, charcoal-rich fill, containing burnt clay fragments and a small amount of flint-tempered Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age pottery, was identified in the north-east of the site (Trenches 3 and 5). A nearby treethrow (Trench 4) also contained fragments of Late Bronze Age pottery. Undated postholes in Trench 5 contained charcoal and burnt clay fragments and might be contemporary. A small isolated undated pit was found in Trench 15, towards the centre of the site; it contained a small amount of pig bone. A waterhole containing Roman pottery was recorded in the south of the site, in Trench 29, along with a small pit in adjacent Trench 32, which also contained Roman pottery. . |
