Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation on land at Rendham Road, Saxmundham, was undertaken in advance of residential development. Trial trench evaluation in 2013 immediately to the south and east of the site recorded the presence of only a few post-medieval and undated ditch remains, most of which related to former 18th and 19th century field boundaries that are shown on historic mapping of the area. The evaluation of the 1.8ha site identified only the remains of a probably Early/Middle Saxon ditch running north-south down the west side of the site, and a post-medieval pit in the south. While the pit was probably contemporary with the Post-medieval field boundaries found by the 2013 evaluation, the earlier Saxon ditch indicates an episode of land-use hitherto un-evidenced in this vicinity of Saxmundham. It is likely that a similarly low density scatter of further remains is present across the remainder of the site. |
