Site Event/Activity record ESF19471 - Monitoring - Milicent House, Aldeburgh

Archaeological monitoring as a condition of planning application. The uppermost layer consisted of 0.10m. of tarmac which had been laid on a bed of building sand and rubble up to 0.50m. in depth. Below these clearly modern deposits, a deep loosely compacted layer of mid-pale brown silty sand was seen which was between 0.50-0.80m. deep. Below this rather homogeneous layer was clean pale orange natural sand, seen to a depth of between 0.30-0.40m. but clearly deeper than the trench limit. No significant features or archaeological finds were observed within the trench faces or base and none were retrieved from the upcast soil.
