Abstract: |
In September 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological excavation on land at the junction of Semer Road and The Street, Whatfield, Suffolk. The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of an affordable residential development, and was preceded by and archaeological trial trench evaluation. The excavation revealed two overlapping phases of medieval activity, spanning the 11th to 14th centuries AD, principally characterised by a series of ditched field/ plot boundaries and a possible foundation trench. A large medieval ?quarry pit was also present. Post-medieval activity mostly comprised a second series of largely intercutting boundary features, most likely agricultural in nature. The remaining post-medieval features included a sub-rectangular domestic refuse pit. The nature of the encountered archaeology sits well within the local archaeological landscape which includes two medieval moated sites and a 14th/ 15th century parish church in close proximity to the junction of Semer Road/ The Street. |
