Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) in November and December 2019 on land adjacent to 96 Stowmarket Road, Needham Market, Suffolk. This phase of work followed a trenched evaluation, undertaken by CA in May 2019, which recorded prehistoric ditches, pits, postholes, potential drip gullies and a large post-medieval pit. The collection of archaeological features prompted a programme of archaeological excavation, covering an area of 0.29 hectares located in the central third of the field. The excavation produced a further eight discrete medieval pits, a single water well pit, two medieval ditches and a post-medieval gully. An Iron Age ditch recorded during the evaluation was further investigated along its curvilinear course, skirting the base of the Gipping tributary that is now a dry valley. A thin layer of finds rich material located below the topsoil, was identified as a night-soil deposit, containing 23 small finds; the majority of which were of medieval origin and included coins, tokens, buckle plates, buckles and jewellery. A post-medieval quarry pit and boundary subdivision were further recorded. |
